Public Viewing and Project Teardown

Saturday began with a 3-hour public viewing of all the projects. A lot of people came to visit, though to be honest a lot of our students have been a bit "talked out" about their projects and found it a bit hard to stay and focus...

Saturday also gave the Delegates (Roz, Tom, Cathy and George) the first real chance to see the projects since they were set up, as during judging there is a strict "no delegates" rule enforced. It was great to see not only the projects of our students, but many of the great projects from around the country. Competition at Canada-Wide was clearly very stiff with lots of excellent projects in all categories.


After lunch it was time for project take-down. Everything went smoothly, and we were out of the exhibit hall (for the last time!) shortly after 2pm. A bit of free time was enjoyed by all, and soon we gathered for a last dinner in the cafeteria.

After dinner there was a bit of music and entertainment, with some of our group spending time in nearby activities such as a game of pool in the "Coffee Shot/Billiards Room", a bit of dancing, and an impromptu picture taking session in the stairway of our Residence with anybody that dared to pass by.


As we settle down for our last night in Winnipeg, our projects are all packed up and waiting for the buses on Sunday morning. It has been a great week, and everyone is tired, but there is also a bit of apprehension of the fact that we will soon be saying goodbye to our new friends for the final (for now!) time tomorrow.
