What do you do when a hurricane is headed your way? Famous Monster Storm chaser Jason Dunion has the answer.
The nationally renowned JASON Project Researcher will make a special guest appearance at Pasadena ISD’s Secondary Science Fair on Friday, January 24 to talk about meteorology and the exciting life of a hurricane tracker. The event will be held in the science building at San Jacinto College-Central, located at 8060 Spencer Highway.
The Science Fair is a fun and rewarding experience for students. Participants not only get to compete for awards and recognition, but most importantly, they get to explore the exciting world of science. Students will also get to participate in science demonstrations presented by San Jacinto College students. Project viewing will take place at 5:30 p.m., followed by the awards ceremony and the presentation from Dunion at 6 p.m.
During the awards presentation, judges will announce place winners in each category, special award recipients and students who qualify to attend the Houston Science and Engineering Fair in February.
All Pasadena ISD staff, students and families are welcome to attend the science fair.

JASON Project Partnership with Pasadena ISD:
Thanks to the generosity of Chevron, Pasadena ISD has partnered with the nationally acclaimed JASON Project, a subsidiary of the National Geographic Society, to deliver science curriculum to middle and intermediate school students. The JASON Project connects students to special events, scientists and explorers, like Jason Dunion, to motivate them to study science and apply their knowledge in real-life situations.
