Summary:

The 2009 competition will comprise of middle school students currently enrolled in the 6^th, 7^th, or 8^th grade. The middle school grade competition will be a derivative of the current competition guidelines developed by Intel Northwest Science Expo (NWSE). The guidelines set forth by Intel NWSE were selected due to the familiarity and program awareness by Oregon Science Teachers.

There are several changes for the 2009 science competition. In 2008, the competition was open to 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th graders. In 2009, the science competition will be open to 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th graders. The categories have also been expanded to cover more competitive categories. In addition, the science competition will be entirely open-class. There is no longer a requirement to roll-up from a county fair.
