What’s NEW for the 2025 Fair

We’ve got lots of NEW things happening in 2025!

NEW LOCATION: The 2025 Fair will be held at WSU Tri-Cities. See the Schedule and Maps Page for location information. More details will be added closer to the fair. We thank WSU Tri-Cities for their support of local STEM education!

NEW RULES: Students and teachers should make sure they are familiar with all fair rules, including on new rule on the use of AI and ISEF’s rule that projects may not be changed between the regional fair and the State or International fair. See the Rules Page for details.

NEW “Project In A Box” PROGRAM: We’re launching a program to introduce 6th grade classes to the fair. Classes work together to design and complete a science project based on a theme. MCSF will provide a box of supplies. We have a limited number of boxes available – contact us at registration@midcolumbiasciencefair.org if you’d like your class to participate.

We’re on Facebook and Instagram! Follow us @midcolumbiasciencefair for information and updates.

NEW MILESTONES: Students will see two new milestones this year. The “IRB – Human Participants” milestone helps students doing projects with human subjects enter all the needed information into STEM Wizard. In the “Project Board PDF” milestone, students will upload a photo or pdf of their project board. This will be used for some special awards judging.

NEW ISEF FORM Examples: We’ve posted instructions, examples of completed forms, and a list of commonly missed items to check before submitting forms on our SRC / IRB page.

We hope to see you at the 70th annual Mid-Columbia Regional Science and Engineering Fair on March 13! Register by February 19. (The registration deadline is February 11 for projects that require SRC or IRB pre-approval.)
