Most public elementary schools in Austin spend two weeks per month teaching science.  This time is not adequate to cover the many aspects of the natural sciences while still having time for the children to experiment with hands-on activities in the classroom.  Next year a science portion will be added to the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills test proving that science must be covered in more detail in every classroom in the state of Texas.  Most teachers who find enough time to cover the material do not have extra allotted time for the children to learn it kinesthetically.  The Crazy Science Fair Extravaganza was created to give children this chance to open their minds and let them wander.  We hope to open the door of learning to many children to teach them how fulfilling it can be to advance your education.  Science is the instrument we will use to bring everyone together and attain our goals.
