| UTeach Outreach volunteers lead children from AISD on field trips through UT to demonstrate how science works in the real world. Students learn about the importance of ecosystems and topics like energy transformation, preservation, ongoing algae research, bio-fuels as energy, and more. These field trips are scheduled on Fridays throughout the semester from 9 am to 1 pm. | Each spring in around April, UTeach Outreach hosts Science Olympics in local AISD schools to help students prepare for the fifth grade Science Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test. The Olympics help students build their confidence and increase their interest in science. | Science Olympiad is a series of competitions at local, regional, state and national levels, for grades K-12, developed to improve the quality of science education, increase student interest in science, and provide recognition of outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. |
