SWU hosts 2013 Regional Science Fair
Southern Wesleyan University hosted the Regional Science Fair March 15, which featured projects presented by nearly 100 students in grades 3-12 from across Pickens, Oconee and Anderson counties.
Volunteers from Southern Wesleyan University and Duke Energy served as judges. Cash prizes and awards plaques were presented to students in each division, thanks to financial support from Duke Energy. Borg Warner provided sponsorship for the top engineering project presented across all age groups.
The next Regional Science Fair will be held March 14, 2014. For details, contact Staci Johnson at 644-5218 or or go online to www.swu.edu/sciencefair.
