Heather and Naima's Houston Adventure

Hey everyone!

This is Heather Rivera and Naima Montacer, two Education Specialists at the El Paso Zoo.  Next week we will be traveling to Houston, Texas to attend the Texas Aquarium and Zoo Educators (TAZE) Conference.  Our short trip to Houston is from Tuesday to Friday, Jan 17-20.  We are very excited about this opportunity to network, share ideas and collaborate with educators from across Texas.  On the agenda are behind the scenes tours, animal encounters, workshops, speakers and fooooood!

We hope to bring back new ideas and incorporate them into our educational programs here at the El Paso Zoo.  At the same time, maybe some of our ideas will be included in programs around the state or country. 

To learn more about the workshop check out their website at: http://www.houstonzoo.org/private/TAZE2012/ and to view our jam packed agenda click here.

Follow our adventure on this blog of touring the Houston Zoo and behind the scenes action, meeting new people and exploring the largest city in Texas, Houston!   We are bringing two cameras and our iphones to capture every detail that happens!
