The El Paso Science Festival kicked off over the weekend with families and guests from the Borderland participating in the two-day event. The festival featured exhibits focused on environmental science, space exploration, physics, and mathematics.
One of the highlights of the festival was a special appearance by astronaut Jose Hernandez, who shared his journey from a migrant farm worker to becoming an astronaut. Hernandez emphasized the importance of inspiring children with similar dreams to believe in themselves and pursue their goals, regardless of their background.
Speaking at events like the Science Festival allows Hernandez to serve as a role model for children who may not see themselves represented in certain fields. By sharing his story and successes, he hopes to empower young individuals to believe in the power of education and hard work.
