Other envisioned activities include a conference that links children’s literature with Mathematics and Science concepts. More on this project will be posted in the near future.

On November 11, 2005, the Lockheed Martin/UCF Academy for Mathematics and Science hosted its first Drive-In Conference for K-12 teachers who teach Mathematics. Twelve presenters shared their experiences and best practices with colleagues teaching at public and private schools in Brevard, Flager, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia counties. The conference also featured Dr. David Rock as keynote speaker. Dr. Rock, Education department chair at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, entertained the crowd with his thought-provoking presentation “Math is not a four letter word!”
