The 2012 All Science Challenge

Our second-ever All Science Challenge at the U of G was a tremendous success!! With twice as many kids participating this year, the competition was twice as stiff!! The hard work of all the participants was evident in their amazing answers to their difficult questions, and the creativity in the design challenge amazed parents, teachers, and judges alike! During the lunch period, we all enjoyed an amazing presentation by Wild Ontario, who brought live raptors into the competition room!

In the end, the top two spots went to the two teams from Rockwood PS! Third place went to a team from Kortright Hills PS! Kortright Hills PS also walked away with the Spirit Award (we couldn't say no to tu-tus!).

Check out some of the exciting pictures from our big day! Many more photos, as well as high resolution versions of these pictures, are available upon request!
