OUR AMAZING TEAM

The El Paso Science Festival is made possible by a dedicated team of passionate volunteers who invest countless hours to create an inspiring, hands-on environment—one that sparks curiosity and motivates kids to proudly say, “I want to be a scientist when I grow up.” They are motivated by the belief that what they do can make a difference in people's lives and their creativity, commitment, and collaboration are the true driving force behind the Festival’s success.
