The Austin Energy Regional Science Festival
“We need to teach our kids that it’s not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair. We need to teach them that success is not a function of fame or PR, but of hard work and discipline.” ~President Barack Obama
It’s with this spirit of achievement that the Austin Energy Regional Science Festival for 2014 encourages and recognizes the accomplishments of young scientists. In addition this Science Festival encourages scientists, engineers and other professionals from the community to interact with the students on a volunteer basis.
