Since 2001, the Indiana State University has hosted the Indiana Regional of the DOE National Middle School Science Bowl each year. Currently, this is coordinated between the departments of Mathematical Sciences, and Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology. The competition normally takes place on the last Saturday in February in Root Hall on ISU's campus. The event is staffed mostly by ISU faculty and students, and receives financial support from ISU's College of Arts and Sciences.
See below for contact information for faculty and staff. The following are who you should contact, depending on what you need.
* Undergraduate advising, admissions, transfer credit - Jeff Kinne

=Competition Format=
== Students ==
Teams compete from different schools. A team is 4 or 5 middle school students, with 4 competing at any given time. The moderator reads "toss up" questions from different categories of math and science (see the link to sample questions below), and the first person to ring in gets a chance to answer. When a toss-up question is answered correctly, the team gets 4 points and a chance at a "bonus" question that the team discusses as a team. Bonus questions are worth 10 points. See the link below to the official rules for more details.

Teams that are eliminated can stay to watch other matches or compete in "fun rounds" after they are eliminated.

=== CS Unix Lab Volunteers ===
The schedule of matches for the 2025 contest is linked below. The top 8 teams will continue competing after lunch in a double elimination tournament, with the last match around 4 or 4:30pm. Teams that are eliminated often stick around for a bit to have some "fun round" matches against parents or each other - rooms that no longer have matches in them will be left open for a period of time for this.

The middle school regional contest is for middle school students only (grades 6, 7, 8). A separate competition for high school students takes place in Indianapolis; see [https://science.osti.gov/wdts/nsb/Regional-Competitions/High-School-Regionals/ High School Regionals] for details. Teams must be approved by the school principal. The Indiana Regional normally takes teams from Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
 
=Refreshments and Lunch=
Lunch will be in the Sycamore Dining Hall (401 Chestnut St. and labeled on the google map).

=Historical Results=
The winning teams at the Indiana Middle School Regional have been as follows, in bold. 2nd through 5th place are also given for years that we still have this data. For all years except 2021 and 2022, there is a tie for 5th place due to the double elimination format that is normally used. If a school is listed twice in a year, then this is for two of their teams. For the winning team, if we know what their final place was at nationals that is listed in (). Our regional winner has won the national competition in 2013, 2007, 2006, and 2005.
