The Intel Northwest Science Expo, held Friday, April 13, 2018 at Portland State University, announces top winners in Oregon's state-level science research competition affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

Intel NWSE includes both a middle school and high school division. The two divisions included 513 projects from 80 schools and organizations across the state. This is the first time since 2006 that both middle and high school students competed under the same roof in the new Viking Pavilion. Two best of fair winners were chosen from each division.

April 13, 2018 

In the new Viking Pavilion at Portland State University, middle school students presented 346 science and engineering projects to judges and peers. Two Best of Fair projects were selected. 

• Audrey Johnson, 14, in grade 8 from Summa Whitford won Best of Fair in the middle school division with a project titled, "The Effect of Urban Development on Turbidity In Fanno Creek".
• Rubaba Amyeen, 12, in grade 6 from Summa Stoller won Best of Fair in the middle school division for her project titled, "Patterns for Protection".

Special Awards

All high school and special awards judges are expected for the whole day 8ish to ~3:15. If you selected Middle School AM or PM, it will show on your judge main menu. Hours for AM judges are 8:30am-12:30pm, PM judges are 11:30am-3:30pm. 

Parking is always a challenge at PSU, use Trimet if you can. Otherwise Parking structure 3 at 12th and Montgomery has the most daily spots, you do not have to stop at the kiosk, there are Payment machines to use. If you are a half day judge street parking may be the better option.

For middle school STUDENTS, session 1 judging in the morning is from 10:30am-noon, doors to the exhibit hall will open at 10:15am. For students in session 2 in the afternoon doors will open at 12:45pm, interviews are from 1-2:30pm. 

Public viewing is from 2:30-4:30pm directly followed by the middle school award ceremony.

High school award ceremony starts at 6:30pm
