We are excited as we begin our 13th year of serving
the K - 12th grade home school community in the Houston and surrounding areas.  
We do everything we can for the fair to be a positive and encouraging experience for our
exhibitors.  We want them to come away with a love of learning and science.  We are unique.  
How are we unique?
First, most fairs require every student to perform an experiment.  There are 4 types of
projects - Collection, Model, Demonstration, and Experiment.  The first three do not require
an experiment to be associated with them.  Our "Science Fair" tab gives more specifics on
each.  Our registration packet  includes how each is scored, so that each student is
properly prepared.
What is the benefit?  
    1.   Gives an opportunity to explore God’s creation with your children.  
    2.   Science is a window into who God is.  
    3.   Teaches:
    ·   Research skills
    ·   Goal setting
    ·   Public speaking
    ·   Visual aid presentation
    4.   Family affair – Everyone learns, helps, grows, and gets in touch with their creative side.
    5.   Stretches us – you know – gets us out of our comfort zone!
Third, students are recognized in as many ways as possible for their effort.  They receive a
participant ribbon, certificate, gift packet, and then they earn a placement ribbon and have
the opportunity to earn specialty ribbons, which in each grade division include Grand
Champion, Reserve Grand Champion, Most Original, Best Display, and Best Interview.  
Sponsors have made it possible since  2002 to award $100 and $50 savings bonds to our
Grand and Reserve Champions, respectively.  Help us to be able to continue honoring our
exhibitors and be a sponsor!!  See our
Sponsors section for more details.

What is our vision?
In 1996, God gave the ICARE home school support group a vision for hosting a science fair to fill
a need, especially to our high school students.  In public school, students participate in at least
one science fair and it was time for home school students to have a venue  for the opportunity to
gain the skills learned by being a science fair exhibitor.  From this vision our science fair began
in 1997 and continues today to serve K - 12th grade home school students.
As part of our vision, in 2005 we began offering a Science Fair Workshop.  February 21, 2009 is
the date to set aside!!  This is our way to help prepare more of our home school families to take
part in a science fair.  It is not necessary, however, to come to the workshop in order to
participate in the fair.  See our
Workshop section for more details.
