Middle School Science Expo
Looking for Judges
We have many excellent science and engineering projects that are being completed by our brightest middle school students and we need your help in reviewing them at our Beaverton School District Middle School Science Expo.
Information about our Science Expo follows:
- Date: Saturday, March 10, 2018 from 8:00am - 4:00pm - Continental breakfast and lunch are provided.
- Location: Highland Park Middle School, located at 7000 SW Wilson Ave. Beaverton, OR 97008.
- Competition Format: Seminar style where students present their projects one at a time to their category group and to the judges.
Schools need expert help in deciding which projects should move on to the state fair competition, the Northwest Science Expo (NWSE). One-third of competing students will go on to compete at NWSE. We want to give our students an opportunity to share their outstanding efforts with people who can provide constructive feedback on their projects regarding science and engineering research practices.
If you can help, please complete our short registration form and if you are interested in learning more about our fair, review the judge's information letter.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to engage with our brightest young students.
