Day 3 - Judging Day!

Today was a busy day!  The Team was off to an early start for breakfast at 7:15am, and then it was time to get dressed up and looking our best for Judging Day.  By 8:30am everyone was in the Exhibit Hall, at their projects, and waiting for the first judges to arrive.

More Stairs...

Looking confident!

Bye!

In the morning the students had the judges for the Excellence Awards (medals and challenge awards), for most students there were five judges that received the "long" (7 to 10 minute) presentation.  The Team's judging experiences were generally positive, with a lot of interested judges and lots of questions.  Some questions were tougher than others, but overall the morning went well and everyone felt they had done their best to explain their projects and their work.

A lot of relief and smiling faces when the Team appeared out of the Exhibit Hall ready for lunch!

Judging morning is done!

Lunch time!

Ready for the afternoon!

There was plenty of time for lunch, and then it was back to the Projects for a few more hours of judging - primarily special awards.  That too went well, and by 5:30pm all the judging was done ... they tough parts are over, and time to relax and unwind!

The CWSF organizers arranged a "Block Party" for the students at Molson Stadium ... food trucks, games, challenges, and more!  It was a great chance to use up some excess energy and to really relax and meet new friends after a long and busy day.

 

 

 

 

Dana has some important advice for Paul

Lots of fun stations kept the team occupied for a few hours, and a lot of happy and tired Team members were ready for a good night's sleep!

Tomorrow we're off to see our surroundings and Montreal on the Tour Day!

PS - Alex would like it to be known that he was never really lost yesterday as we were searching for the Exhibit Hall, he knew exactly where we were....



Is this the look of someone who's lost?
