Community Membership
If you are a parent, teacher, or administrator, a SMATE Membership might be perfect for you! Do you need increased access to materials and curriculum to enhance your science teaching? Are you looking for more resources to engage learners in science content?
SMATE grant participants and cooperating k-12 teachers that support WWU's Woodring students (by hosting a science education practicum or having a student teacher), are eligible for a free membership!
Memberships are valid for one academic year (August-July) .
Please note: Computers and calculators are not available for checkout by community members.
