Parents and their children were lead through hands on science experiments. Parents were encouraged to participate with their child's class on their Fresh Air Science project. They left with science activities for home use with their children. Each year an appreciation reception is held at the Arizona Club to thank teachers, administrators and a host of community members that have acted as mentors, judges, sponsors, speakers, or simply helped on the day of the Science Fair. The goal of the Fresh Air Science Fair is to improve math, science and technology education by challenging Valley students, kindergarten to 12th grade, to research Phoenix air pollution and develop solutions.
Air pollution is a real and urgent problem in the Valley.
The type of problem for which we will need many small solutions. By developing solutions for this problem, students understand the value and usefulness of math, science and technology. They will see that learning at school can be used to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others. The creation of collaborative ties between education, business, and government. To recruit sponsors and collaborators we do mailings, emailings, faxes, brochures, make presentations to groups, and by far the most effective recruiting tool is talking to individuals.
