Can other students/parents come and watch?

Parents and friends of the teams are invited to attend the awards ceremony in the Discovery Theatre from 1:15 pm to 2:00 pm.

During the event times (9:00 am to 12:10 pm), only the teams and supporting teacher are permitted to attend. No other students may help the team on event day.

Motors

The motors for the make ahead event are on there way! We expect them to arrive any day (they are at US Customs). When they arrive, we will post it on the blog and registered teams will also be notified. Thank-you for being patient.

Once the motors are in, they will be left at our Front of House with registered team name attached. We will email the team's supporting teacher with the details.

Question: What type of motor is it?

We have ordered:
Tamiya RC 540 Motor (Part #7435043)
You can buy them at hobby shops such as PM Hobby Craft

Question: Are you supplying a motor or a generator?

We are supplying a motor but it will be 'acting' as a generator. Mechanical energy from the turbine you build will be converted to electrical energy that we will then measure.

Multiple Teams

Schools are welcome to register two teams of students to take part in the Science Olympics. If you would like to register a third team, then it will be added to the wait list. Closer to the registration deadline, if there is still room, we will happily accept a third team from your school.
Thanks!
