Presently, the EF-IRC is seeking volunteers to judge the science fair and sponsors to help underwrite the awards and operation of the IRRSEF.
The IRRSEF serves more than 27 public and private schools in Indian River County. The success of this regional event is attributed to the continued support of the community.
