Through its foundation and its volunteers, Duke Energy continues to play a vital role in the Regional Science Fair. As the Science Fair enters its sixth year, student participation continues to grow, according to Johnson, who expects 200 students from Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties to participate in the event, scheduled for March 15, 2013.
