WELCOME Welcome to the 2014-2015 Chester County Science Research
Competition (CCSRC) website. As we enter our 25th year, we are looking forward to providing the children of Chester County with an opportunity to independently research a scientific or mathematics topic of interest to them.
We are a regional fair that gives our students the opportunity to advance to both the Delaware Valley Science Fairs and the INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair.
The CCSRC is open to all children in grades four through twelve who attend public, private, parochial, and home schools (must be resident) in Chester County.
