Austin Energy Regional Science Festival – Cool Things To Do In Austin
The Austin Energy Regional Science Festival is held in February each year. It is one of Texas’s largest regional science fairs; with 3,000 students from 3rd through 12th grade. The festival is so valuable because it brings students and professionals together, rewards the students scientific research and work and gives scientists, engineers and others an opportunity to share with the community.
“The journey to and through Science Festival is one of self discovery. It teaches children to develop questions into formal, testable, and solvable problems; it helps prepare them to approach life’s challenges systematically. Learning outcomes and finding answers offer powerful self validation.”
Winners of this fair advance to the ExxonMobile Texas Science and Engineering Fair and Best of Fair Senior Division projects advance directly to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
“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
