York University's Biophysics Contest for High School Students
Win geek glory... and money!
From the contest page, the big picture...
"The main goal of the contest is for you (and potentially a small group of classmates) to visually tell a "story" that relates a fundamental physical concept to a basic biological (or biomedical) topic. This will be done by virtue of creating a single-page "poster".
Posters should creatively display information to viewers in an eye-catching-easy-to-digest manner. Posters should tell a “story” visually (i.e., via effective graphics), demonstrating a cohesive and logically structured narrative. While some text can play a vital role, it is (strongly) suggested that text not be the central feature of the poster, and thus be kept to a minimum (i.e, a few well-chosen words).
A potential scheme for posters would include background information about the chosen physical concept, an introduction of the associated biological/biomedical idea or application, and details about how that gap is bridged.
BE CREATIVE in the layout of this information as clear story-telling, innovative visual display and content all will be key judging components."

Next Meeting: Thurs, Nov 17
We will be doing two things on Thursday: first we will try to beat our Mentos fountain height from previous years. Then we will have Stephen Johns from the Engineering Student Recruitment & Retention Office at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering here to answer your questions about the process of applying to engineering at U of T.

Marshmallows Challenged!
Today we conquered the marshmallow challenge! Our highest tower, by Team Stressed, rose to 58 cm (before ignominiously toppling, due no doubt to a sudden fluctuation in Earth's gravity). Pictures will be posted soon.
Stay tuned for the next meeting!
