Mixed in to that for the finalists was some time to explore the exhibit hall and see other projects, as well as the opportunity to hear some lectures that were taking place.

At noon public viewing was finished for the day, and it was time for lunch and to get ready for the Awards Ceremony!
We once again walked over to downtown Fredericton - with great weather! - and we arrived before any of the scheduled buses, giving us prime choice of the "front row centre" seating.
In no time at all it was time for the Awards ... Special Awards (with specific criteria donated by sponsors), Challenge Awards (for specific challenge areas of interest), and the Excellence Awards (medals).
Team BASEF once again had great results as a team:
Special Awards
Samna Aziz - Canadian Association of Clinical Chemists Special Award
Samna Aziz - Manning Innovation Prize
Challenge Award - Innovation:
Caroline Mahut
Bronze Medals:
Anika Gupta, Jack Mogus, Maggie Williams, Samna Aziz
Silver Medals:
Claire Hunter, Michael Wolfe, Katie Brent, Aaron Gomes
Gold Medal:
Caroline Mahut
An amazing result as a team, and the support of all team members for each other was evident again today as different finalists finished with different results - yet each project was exceptional and on a different day could just as easily have won an award if it didn't today.

After the Awards show we took team and individual pictures in front of the New Brunswick Legislature building, and then walked back to the campus.
Upon return it was time to relax - some volleyball, some frisbee, some board games, and some dancing at the celebration dance event.

And with some students leaving tomorrow, including the Australian team that is leaving early in the morning, there were some tears as new friends will once again be separated by distance.
It was toward midnight before everyone really got settled down and off to bed ... one more full day to go, with public viewing and project takedown coming up on Saturday.
Congratulations to all of Team BASEF for the hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication to bring these great projects to the national fair. The entire team has made our region and their communities proud.
