Putnam-Westchester Industry & Science Teacher Alliance 

 PWISTA, Putnam-Westchester Industry and Science Teacher Alliance, is designed to enhance teachers’ knowledge in modern instrumentation and technology used in industry today. This program will advance your background in analytical skills used in modern laboratories. It will help teachers transfer their knowledge of science applications into better classroom activities.

The primary purpose for each of these sessions is to provide teachers, like you, with the opportunity to experience relevant hands-on science experiments that can be brought back to the science classroom and laboratory. This program is also designed to enlighten teachers on the different jobs available for students who major in Science and Math.
