Our scientists, engineers and astronomers of tomorrow are students in our schools today. This is science fair season in Humble ISD’s elementary schools, and we need your help. We bring judges to the schools so that parents and teachers do not have to judge projects of students that they know. It takes many judges at each fair to make them effective and efficient. We need you!

You do not need to be an expert, you just need to want to help promote science and be available to help. We provide training before each fair. Most fairs are weekdays from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at the elementary schools. For more information and the schedule, please email me: This email address is being protected from spambots.

And be sure to come to the observatory on Public Night to see the wonders of the universe. It is on the first Friday of each month from sunset to 10 p.m.
