COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- More than 600 students from nine South Carolina counties are competing at the 56th annual Science and Engineering Fair in Columbia.

Friday's event is being held at the Carolina Coliseum on the University of South Carolina campus.

The school says between four to seven students in grades 10 through 12 and two to three teachers were being chosen to compete at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in Pittsburgh on May 13-18.

Powell says students from 70 nations compete in the Pittsburgh event and it is the world's largest international pre-college science competition.
