The middle school fair will return to Portland State University using multiple spaces in the Smith Memorial Student Union on Monday May 1, 2017. There will be no evening set-up. Adult Sponsors should register for the year early so as not to miss any announcements.

Online registration is open for 2017 fair participants. Not all fair dates have been finalized. All the Intel ISEF Forms have been updated on this site and registration. High school students working on projects over the summer need to print out and sign the needed forms before starting their project, or will need everyone to date signatures on the day that oral approval was given.

April 23, 2016 the 33rd Annual Intel Northwest Science Expo was held at Liberty High School in Hillsboro. 402 students were registered for the event and 256 awards were given out. Jimmy Plumleigh of Bend Science Station and Anushka Naiknaware of Summa Stoller were our Best of Fair Winners.
