Science Olympics

What are the Science Olympics: A chance to collaborate in teams to solve challenges presented to you on the spot about science and engineering. Last year students had to design an autonomous or remote-controlled prototype vehicle that could drive on land and in water (simulating a wetland).

When & Where: Saturday, May 24^th 1-6pm at Winsport Event Centre (you must have your own transportation to and from)

Cost: $25-$30 per person

Commitment: Although challenges take place at the event, there will be a resource package to work through with your team. You will meet weekly at lunch to work on the content materials and will work on your own time.

Who should participate? You are passionate about science and problem solving, collaborative and responsible. You will commit to the weekly meetings, working on your own time and to being at the event.

How many teams? Teams will consist of 5 students – number of teams and cost per student will depend on interest.

If you are interested you must attend the information session in room 9 on Monday, November 25^th at 1:00pm. If you are away that day you must follow up with Ms. Ray. Depending upon interest, a recommendation and lottery system may be used to select teams.
