Keep in mind that the tour on Tony's blog is unofficial, although we promise it will be a good time. If you plan on coming to our unofficial tour on Sunday, and you have a Facebook account, sign up here so we can get an idea of numbers: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2246589434 It's not required, but it'd be nice to keep everyone updated.

Also note that the tour on the 11th is not campus day, thus you'll be missing out on the "official" activities.

There's information here: http://findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/visitus/campusday.htm

You can expect a big turnout.

is the official one for just gr 12s? or can gr 11s go too if they are planning to apply to waterloo the next year?

It's open. Grade 11's can go too. So can grade 10's and 9's, and even younger. I went to visit Waterloo before I was in grade nine at the time my brother was choosing a University.

If you're coming on the official tour, come by the computer science club's office in MC 3036 (Math & Computing, 3036). It's the place to be.

Clearly, the Robotics Team office is better. After all, it's clear that coding + robots > coding. If you'd like further proof, report to the E3X labs or the CIM building on a dark and stormy night.

As something more on-topic, I think that Tony's tour would be more fun than the "official" activities. Those guys will probably be more informative than the presentations. (Note: the lab tours are pretty cool)

CSC > all; except perhaps the comfy lounge and the C&D.

Robots are cool and all, but the software that controls them is infinitely more interesting then the hardware. Any foolish engineer can design hardware; software is an art.

I agree with the second part, but the first part is fightin' words. Razz Not going to derail this thread further into a debate, though.
