There is no entrance fee.

Just expect to hear a very enthusiastic crowd. It is like going to a sports event with music and cheerleaders to boot.

It is all about watching kids learning to solve real engineering problems as cohesive teams.

 

Cheers, Tom

Thanks Tom for this information. I am forwarding it to the group for their information.  Sounds like an interesting competition that our members may be interested in attending.

 

Do you know if there is any entrance fee or other restrictions?  You can respond directly to the list.

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Sorry, I am thoroughly tied up with the FIRST Robotics event this weekend at UOIT.

 

If you or the group are interested in seeing a really fun and competitive Robotics competition either in Oshawa this weekend or Mississauga March 30th at Hershey Centre.

 

Here are links to the details.

 

 

 

Cheers, Tom

Thought you might be interested in this lecture.

 

Unfortunately I have been unable to secure anyone for this month's event... which is proposed for either the 17th or the 24th.  If you have any leads, please let me know.

 

Kevin

We thought you may be interested in the Royal Canadian Institute's (RCI) upcoming lecture on the gravitational lensing. It is sure to be a fascinating lecture.

 

As always RCI lectures are free and open to the public. A description of the lecture follows, and further details can be found at http://royalcanadianinstitute.org/.

We hope to see you there!

Weighing the Universe with Gravitational Lensing

Laura Parker, B.Sc., Ph.D., Department of Physics and Astronomy, McMaster University, Hamilton

 

Most of the mass in the Universe is believed to be in an unseen form called dark matter.  In this talk I will present the observational evidence leading to this incredible realization.  Laura will then focus in particular on the use of gravitational lensing to investigate dark matter.  In gravitational lensing light is bent by the presence of  massive objects in much the same way that an optical lens bends light.   Remarkably, we can use lensing to study the amount and distribution of dark matter in the universe on scales ranging from individual galaxies to the entire universe itself.

This is a joint lecture with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Mississauga Centre
