Calgary Youth Science Fair 2012

Visit EZ-Robot at the 2012 Calgary Youth Science Fair Saturday April 21!



The mission of the Calgary Youth Science Fair Society is "to promote an appreciation for scientific principles and method in the youth of Calgary by means of an annual science competition". Every year approximately 800 students from schools in and around Calgary gather to take part in Canada's largest science fair.

The fair is open to students in grades 5 through 12. Students normally register through the science fair coordinator at their school. If a school does not sign up for the fair, then parents have the option of registering their child directly, as an independent.

The science fair is organized by the Calgary Youth Science Fair Society to encourage and promote ongoing interest in science. The Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers representing the business, scientific, and education communities of Calgary

EZ-Robot will be attending the event with ground robots, flying robots and a robot obstacle course! Use Virtual Reality Glasses to control the Real Wall-e robot through an ostacle course and find the flower pot - Just like the movie!

EZ-Robot is donating a Complete Robot Kit ($235 value) as a prize to the most creative project entry!

Location: The 2012 fair will be held at the Olympic Oval on April 18-21, 2012

Unfortunately the fair is over and I could not visit it. I wanted to go but then something else cropped up and I could not. tired At least I would have loved to see all the fantastic robots. Besides this I love Wall-e and I would have loved to see the obstacle course and find the flower pot. I will now get some fresh and chap seranata flowers in post packet and try to find the flower pot with some of my friends. Hopefully I can visit the fair next year.
