Activity Day

April 11th, 2002
A camera was sent along with each of the activity chaperones. All the duplicates were given away to students on the day of the awards ceremony. Some scenes from the activities are posted below, as well.

Friday, April 5th is Activity Day. You'll be taking part in two of the activities below, one in the morning and one in the afternoon; you'll be asked for your preference on the registration form.

Note that some of the activities have limited enrolement, and sign up will be first-come first-serve. And remember that the "first-come" is based on the date of the last change you made to your project registration, not on the date that you first registered.
