What is ScienceFest?

ScienceFest is an annual conference celebrating the knowledge, creativity and passion for learning science of 成人黑料 students. The conference showcases work, projects, and activities from across the Science, Medical Studies and Engineering (SMSE) programs and in collaboration with other 成人黑料 initiatives. It is a lively festival of science featuring sessions of talks, poster presentations, science-fair-style installations, live demonstrations and activities.

How do I get involved?

We encourage all students in any of the SMSE programs to get involved. Have you or are you about to complete an Independent Study Comprehensive Examination or some other independent project? Would you like to give a talk, present a poster or demonstrate a project from this academic year? Maybe you want to get involved in some other capacity? We are presently looking for student volunteers.

Robotics Hackathon

The Dawson Robotics Hackathon is a collaborative, interdisciplinary event where students work in teams to find creative solutions to a themed challenge. No experience will be necessary.

The themed challenge is Arduino-based and will involve the construction of a micro-robot designed to perform a task. Student teams (minimum 2, maximum 4) will be provided with a kit of components and precise instructions. For students who are not part of a team at the time of registration, we will try to match you with other participants to form a team. Registration is separate from the ScienceFest presenters form (see below).

Volunteers

Volunteers are always needed. Your participation could be formally credited for volunteering hours (Recognition of Student Involvement), and it looks good on your CV!

Student volunteers will primarily be tasked with mounting and unmounting posters in 3C.1.
