Please review all of the class information on this page before you fill out the teacher application.


All-day and half-day classes will be held Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th. Only half-day classes will be held on Sunday the 15th.


All classes will be held outside. Canopies will be provided. NGS will keep $15.00 per student from your class fee. You will be provided one 8 ft table for every 5 students and a chair for each student, and one additional table for the teacher. Additional tables will be for rent for $5.00 ea.


Water is available in the kitchen of the exhibit hall. If your class requires water, please bring a container large enough to accommodate your students' needs so you can fill prior to class and your students will not be required to go in and out of the exhibit hall during class.


If you require electricity, your class will be located near an outlet. You will need to bring your own extension cords, power strips, etc.


You can submit proposals for as many classes as you like. Ensure that each of your classes has a unique name.
