In medieval times, the line between wizardry and science was a thin one. Each spring for the past seven years, the Texas Memorial Museum and UT Austin's College of Natural Sciences have teamed up with local groups to put the magic back into science on Austin Science Fun Day. The event is free and open to the public.
Free parking is available in the garage north of the museum.
Advanced Micro Devices, National Instruments and KXAN-TV 36 are serving as sponsors this year. Bill Oliver and the Otter Space Band will perform. The event also involves scientists from UT Austin meeting members of the public to discuss their latest discoveries and research. More than 3,000 people attended last year's event. Our evaluations show that people want more educational resources available that they can participate in with their families.
