I wasn’t sure if you all already knew about this, but ToScA is happening here at UF March 6-8, 2019. They have an abstract submission section for education and outreach – it might be cool to show some of the CT scanning/3D printing everyone’s been doing? Abstract deadline is Nov. 30th and here’s the direct link https://www.rms.org.uk/discover-engage/event-calendar/tosca-north-america-2019.html

And here’s a more detailed email about the meeting/abstract submission:
