Day 5 - Science Activities and Public Viewing

For this morning the team went different ways again as we each were assigned to a variety of science-based activities throughout the University of New Brunswick campus.  The activities and demonstrations included biology, chemistry, robotics, electronics, astronomy, and more.  Each student participated in two different activities.

After lunch, it was time for the first Public Viewing Day.  This year, the public viewing has a slightly new format ... students are assigned to a schedule that divides their time between presenting their project to the public, free time to see the projects of other students, and also time to attend some talks and lectures scheduled throughout the afternoon.

Today was also one of the School Tours days, so the project hall as filled with area students looking at the projects and speaking to the participants.

There was still public viewing after dinner, until 8pm, though it became much less busy by that time.

Even the delegate/chaperones (Dan, George, Ingrid and Dana) has some things planned, starting with a Youth Science Canada meeting, and wrapping the afternoon with a "Future Host Social" presented by Montreal to talk about next year's fair.  Montreal based food, music, and even dancing was a feature.

 

 The weather was great today, sunny all day, perfect for spending some time outside!

Some free time outside!

Shortly after the public viewing it was the "Camp CWSF" event which included camp-themed food and the CWSF finalist Talent Show.  Katie took part in a performance with the Australian team, and all of the performances were great - music and singing, story telling, even a short comedy skit.

After the Camp CWSF wrapped up at 10pm, all finalists were treated to a fireworks display outside of the main building.  A great wrap to the day!
