For Today's Science Teachers

You don't have to figure it out alone

PD3 Science connects science teachers with three veteran educators who've been in your shoes — and know exactly what you need.

Registration is LIVE for Science Saturday on December 5th from 8am-3:30pm. This FREE science PD will be held on the campus of NDSU in AG Hill Hall. Participants will get to choose up to 4 active sessions from 5 threads (biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science and curriculum). Teachers will leave each session with materials and ideas to use in their classrooms. One NDSU credit is available for $50 to attend and reflect on how to implement what you learn.

Our mission

Supporting rural science teachers

Today's science teachers face unique challenges — limited budgets, hard-to-source equipment, and fewer colleagues to lean on. PD3 Science was built by three experienced educators who understand those realities firsthand. We provide practical content support, equipment guidance, and hands-on lab help so you can focus on what matters most: your students.
