Science Fair & Science Night

Caraway’s Science Fair will take place on Thursday, January 15, 2026 during the school day. Science Night will take place after school on the same night!

Caraway Science Fair
Our Caraway Science Fair is a chance for students to explore their curiosity, ask big questions, and share their discoveries with our school community. Students design and share their own experiments or projects to approachable and friendly judges, showcasing creativity, problem-solving, and scientific thinking. All projects are judged by a rubric, but only Grades 3-5 have a chance to advance on to the Greater Austin Regional Science Fair if their scores qualify. We will have an informational closer to the date.

Science Night
Science Night is a family-friendly evening filled with hands-on activities, live demonstrations, and interactive exhibits. From playing with Canyon Vista’s Robotics Team’s robots to exploring the wonders of chemistry, this event brings science to life for all ages. It’s the perfect opportunity for families to learn, play, and be amazed together.
