From the Fair Floor
A few shots from our 2025 season. 2026 photos coming soon.
High schoolers run science fair programs at elementary schools — free. No fluff, no cost, just students doing actual science and winning at GARSEF.
"It's not about being the smartest kid in the room. It's about being the most curious."
Science Stars puts high school students in elementary classrooms to run science fair programs from scratch — no cost to the school, ever.
High school students from Austin who've done science fairs, research projects, and STEM competitions — and want to bring that experience to younger kids who'd otherwise never get it.
We run the whole program: weekly lessons, project guidance, parent updates, and the school-wide fair itself. Teachers just open the door.
100+ students across two seasons. 30 awards at GARSEF. And a lot of kids who now know what a hypothesis is and why it matters.
Four steps from first contact to science fair day.
A teacher agrees to be the point of contact. We handle everything else from there.
A Science Stars mentor comes in weekly or biweekly. Students get homework. Parents get updates.
Students pick topics they actually care about and build real projects with real data.
We help run the school fair. Top projects go to GARSEF. Kids walk away knowing they did science.
Two seasons at GARSEF. Here's the scoreboard.

We're always looking for schools to work with and high schoolers to run programs. Reach out — setup takes less than a week.
