We also have 2 important changes for middle school. The per school project limit is now 18 instead of 20. Also Chemistry and Earth has been split into two categories.

We will post results in the next couple of days.

It's almost fair day! Here are the schedules for middle and high school. Middle school events take place in the Peter Stott Center (930 SW Hall, Portland, Oregon 97201) main gym, high school events take place on the third floor of the Smith Memorial Student Union (1825 SW Broadway, Portland, Oregon 97201).

During exhibit set-up the forms for a project must be present for the project to pass display and safety. Forms are either the MS Super EZ and the project procedures OR the Intel ISEF forms which must include Forms 1, 1A, 1B and Research Plan. Other forms are needed for certain types of projects. It is the responsibility of the adult sponsors to make sure parents have copies of all necessary forms if the parents will be setting up the display.

To see what a display and safety check involves see our training video. Here is a direct link to the Display regulations for NWSES fairs

We need more middle school judges in all categories, you do not need a degree to judge middle school. There are also a few high school categories still needing judges. Please spread the word.

Here is a direct link to the Display regulations for NWSES fairs.

There was a problem over the weekend with the registration link by the frog for Internet Explorer users only. It should be functional now, however you can always use the direct links under For Judges, For Students or For Adult Sponsors or try viewing the site in Firefox if browsing issues arise. Please let us know if something is not working on the website.

Today, February 10th, is the first postmark deadline for Intel NWSE. The fee for projects postmarked by today is $5. This is a per project charge, not per person. The final deadline is March 3rd at which time the registration fee is $20 per project. See registration deadlines for the complete list.

Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity to earn 4 college credits from Portland State University for meeting specific benchmarks with their research projects. The instructor of this HS Natural Science Inquiry course is knortonpdx [dot] edu (Kate Norton).  Look at the accompanying documents for more information.  

We welcome the Gresham Science Expo which will take the place of the PCC Science Expo as the at-large fair. The GSE will be Saturday March 13th at Gresham High School.  The at-large fair is for high school students from anywhere in Oregon or Clark County who are not served by another regional fair.

The adult sponsor must register first before adding projects.
