Discovery Education, CNYRIC, and Fayetteville-Manlius Schools are pleased to present the Upstate NY Day of Discovery at Fayetteville-Manlius High School in Manlius, NY on May 14th. Designed specifically for New York educators, this interactive day of free professional development will highlight creative ways to engage students and invigorate your curriculum using the latest 21st century tools. Whether you are new to Discovery Education or a long-time user in search of the latest instructional strategies, this event has something for everyone

Our keynote speaker, Danny Forster, is host of Science Channel’s popular series Build it Bigger. As the host of Build It Bigger, Forster travels the world in search of incredible feats of architecture and engineering. Forster’s passion for great architecture and his exceptional ability to share that passion have made him a sought-after speaker and a popular teacher. In 2008 he joined the faculty at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and has recently brought his course to Syracuse University School of Architecture. Designing pioneering projects for DANNY FORSTER Design Studio, lecturing internationally, and filming for Build It Bigger, Forster is continually at work and on the move creating, explaining, and popularizing ingenious architectural solutions. He is also at work, closer to home, as creator and executive producer of a new documentary series, Rebuilding Ground Zero. As a passionate educator, Dan looks forward to sharing his unique perspective on the role of teachers in an ever-changing world.
