About Science Fair
Why is Science Fair important?
Every year, Science has become an increasingly essential and debated subject. It is used every day and in practically every situation, even when we don't realize it. Science is represented in something as simple as making coffee in the morning and in something as advanced as scientists proposing terraforming to someday colonize Mars. Every type of scientific research, no matter how big or small, adds to human knowledge of how we can make our world a safer, more efficient, and more beautiful place. Science Fair participants at Kastner will do the same: become a true scientist and seek the answer to one of life's questions.
