In-person events
Where to Meet
We will meet and sign-in teams at the front desk reception in the Hennings building on UBC-V campus: 6224 Agricultural Road.
General Description
The competition is structured around 6 separate events called Heats. Two of them revolve around the pre-builds. One is Quizzics(!), where students will answer challenging questions about physics and astronomy. Another one is the Fermi Questions event, where students will estimate the best answers to order of magnitude problems. The other two events are the Labs, where students will participate in hands-on activities and be tested in their knowledge of experimental physics.
School Groupings
Schools groupings have been sent to teachers and approved! We are so excited to see you all on March 1st!
Where to find lunch
Lunch is not provided, but there are food outlets at the Irving K. Barber Learning Center next to Hennings building, the Student Union Building (NEST) across the street from Hennings and Hebb buildings, and a few blocks away at University Village. The awards ceremony will be in Woodward IRC 2 after 4:00 PM.
