Science Games, Science World AEGBC on March 4th

Hello Everyone,

Last year, Division 5 had two teams attend the Science Games run by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC at Science World. In fact, one of our two teams won the gold medal!

I am hoping to attend again; however, the registration has changed. Last year, we were able to take maximum two teams of 4-5 students each. This year, we can submit as many teams as we like; however, the teams are put into a lottery. If our teams are drawn from the lottery, then we can only have one team attend.

An exception, though, is if we get an all-girl team, as they are trying to encourage more girls to become engineers!

The competition this year is on March 4th, Saturday. It costs $5 per student if you have 5 on a team. Transportation to and from the event at Science World is the parent’s responsibility. The event runs from 11-5 approximately. Some study and work at home prior to the event is required. Teams need to be able to work together well in order to win!

For more information, please see the AEGBC website.

Registration has to be done by the teacher at the school.

If you are interested in this event, you need to let me know by Friday, November 4th, and I will put you into teams that can be submitted for the lottery. Fingers crossed that we will get a team accepted!!

Thank you,

Ms. D
