The University of Tulsa (UTulsa) was thrilled to serve as the host of the 2025 Tulsa Regional Science Fair, an inspiring showcase of scientific exploration and innovation for students across Tulsa and Creek counties. This event brings together talented seventh through twelfth grades students, giving them the chance to present their research projects and compete for recognition.
This event provides a platform for young scientists to share their discoveries and engage with the broader scientific community whether from a public, private, or homeschool background. Projects represent a broad range of scientific disciplines, from biology and environmental science to computer science and engineering. Participation in events like the Tulsa Regional Science Fair can ignite lifelong passions, introduce students to advanced research concepts, and prepare them for future academic success.
UTulsa has long been a leader in research and STEM education. Dedicated to innovation, fostering the next generation of scientists and engineers is the cornerstone of the university.
