A Brief History

The South Sound Regional Science Fair began in 1998. Twelve teachers from Pierce and Thurston counties approached Pacific Lutheran University and requested that PLU host a regional science fair.

Since the South Sound Regional Science Fair (SSRSF) began, it has grown in the number of participants. In the first fair there were 110 projects, in 2008 there were over 500 students from Kindergarten to 12th grade with over 100 judges making the awards.

The tentative date for the 2009 SSRSF is March 21 at Olson Auditorium on the PLU campus.
