Middle school project set-up is either Thursday evening April 11 4-7pm or Friday morning April 12 7-9am. The student does not need to be present, a parent or teacher may complete the set-up for them. All forms for a project are needed to complete set-up. The size is very small for display, only paper items may be used on the poster. Computer Science projects are allowed to bring a laptop to show code during interviews.

for specific times go to the fair day info page for schedules

High school student set-up is offered Thursday evening April 11 4-7pm or Friday morning April 12 7-9am. The student must be present to complete display and safety check. Exhibits will be inspected by Intel NWSE staff at check-in. If part of an exhibit does not adhere to the following regulations, or is considered unsafe, the exhibitor will be asked to remove that part of the exhibit. STUDENT NAMES ARE PERMITTED ON DISPLAY BOARDS.

We need more volunteers for Display Checks. These happen Thursday April 11th 4-7pm and Friday April 12th 7-9am. Attention to detail is needed, but no science knowledge. High school through adult may volunteer to assist with safety checks, training starts each shift. Click here for a quick Display Check registration.
