Jaime WaltonEvents, Front Page, Press Release, STEM News, Students

On Thursday, February 9, nearly 75 students from across Tulsa and Creek counties participated in the Tulsa Regional Science Fair (TRSF), hosted by the University of Tulsa. Participants competed in two divisions: Junior Division (7-9 grade) and Senior Division (10-12 grade.) More than 60 STEM professionals and community members volunteered to make this experience possible.

Over $1,000 in cash prizes were awarded to outstanding projects from professional societies and sponsors. Twenty projects were selected to go to the Oklahoma State Science and Engineering Fair (OSSEF) in March 2023. The top two projects will receive funding for an all-expense-paid trip to attend the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May 2023.
