Day 6 - Awards Ceremony

Today was a busy day!

The morning started with 3 hours of Public Viewing and school tours.  But first, we had to walk to the Project Hall after breakfast, and for the first time the weather was not in our favour.  Even with the use of umbrellas and garbage bags, everyone was thoroughly soaked by the time we reached the projects.  Wet shoes and soaked pants were the order of the morning.

Once we settled in, everyone took the situation in stride, and soon the team was talking to visiting public and school students.  This was also the opportunity to take the team's photos at their projects, be sure to check them out on Facebook or Flickr.

Once the morning's public viewing was over, it was off to lunch (and thankfully the rain had stopped!)  And then time to great ready in suits and dresses to head out to the Awards Ceremony.

The Awards show was held not too far away, towards downtown Windsor, in a nice theatre / banquet facility.  Soon enough we were all seated in the theatre, and the award ceremony was under way...

The results for the BASEF Team were amazing.  There is no doubt that each and every one of our projects was excellent and deserving of a medal, but it's also true that the competition at Canada-Wide is very tough, filled with excellent projects from across the entire country.

Here is our list of Medal Winners:

Gold medal:
Isabella O'Brien

Silver Medals:
Jack Mogus,
Nart Barileva,
Aagnik Pant, and
Alex Tomala

Bronze Medals:
Dana Torbin,
Patrick Lutz,
Jessica Bohm,
Eduard Brenninkmeijer,
Caroline Mahut,
Katie Brent,
Federico Cao, and
Adree Khondker.

Isabella also won the Environmental Challenge Award, Alex won the Information Technology Challenge Award, and Katie won the Australian National Youth Science Forum Award.

Great work to the entire team!

After the Awards Show, we were treated to a banquet dinner that was very good (and fancy!), and after that the evening finished with a dance.  Once that wrapped up, many of the team chose to walk back to the residence - a bit chilly, but a nice walk along the waterfront.
