The Quite Unforgettable Extreme Science Time (QUEST) Program is an educational series that combines standards (TEKS and NSES), and imaginative inquiry based hands-on science with two hours of teacher collaboration time. They do this by using volunteers (parents, teachers, community partners, etc.) to act as "teachers" while the school staff meets collaboratively. This program is aimed specifically at elementary school students, where excitement for science begins.
QUEST days are held monthly at Purple Sage Elementary, Thursdays from 12:00 PM to 2:45 PM. The dates are fixed but the subjects may change. To volunteer, contact Kurt Zech at kazech@scienceforce.org.
