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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Sat Mar 03, 2007 1:52 pm Re: campus day ----------------------------------- Also note that the tour on the 11th is not campus day, thus you'll be missing out on the "official" activities. ----------------------------------- iluvchairs112 Sat Mar 03, 2007 3:52 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- so is anyone going to the official campus day, or does anyone know anything about it? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Mar 03, 2007 4:56 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- There's information here: http://findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/visitus/campusday.htm You can expect a big turnout. ----------------------------------- Ultrahex Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:58 pm Re: campus day ----------------------------------- xHoly-Divinity, BTW I'm going to Sunday March 11th Unoffical day, my parents have to work on the tuesday so i don't have a car to get up there then. So i should be not there on campus day, but i should be there on wings day :) ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Mar 03, 2007 7:05 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- Ultrahex - send me a reminder to my email. Or better yet, sign yourself up to our Facebook group ;) ----------------------------------- Ultrahex Sat Mar 03, 2007 7:55 pm Re: campus day ----------------------------------- Or Better Yet, Sign Up For FaceBook, Then Sign Up For The Event :P, ugh... why did i do that ... lol ----------------------------------- iluvchairs112 Sat Mar 03, 2007 8:29 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- 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? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:02 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Mar 04, 2007 3:31 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- wtd Sun Mar 04, 2007 4:19 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- It's a trap! ----------------------------------- md Sun Mar 04, 2007 5:11 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- correction: It's a tarp! (cue the pictures) http://exabit.org/tarp.jpg ----------------------------------- Skynet Sun Mar 04, 2007 7:09 pm Re: RE:campus day ----------------------------------- Picture Hehehe... *is looking forward to his IRS* 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) ----------------------------------- md Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:31 am RE:campus day ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Clayton Mon Mar 05, 2007 9:18 am Re: RE:campus day ----------------------------------- correction: It's a tarp! (cue the pictures) darn, I wish I were there for that! I mean comon! Free Hypnotic Spectres! ----------------------------------- Skynet Thu Mar 08, 2007 10:19 pm Re: RE:campus day ----------------------------------- Any foolish engineer can design hardware; software is an art. I agree with the second part, but the first part is fightin' words. :P Not going to derail this thread further into a debate, though. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Mar 11, 2007 5:47 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- ERTW ----------------------------------- iluvchairs112 Thu Mar 15, 2007 11:36 am RE:campus day ----------------------------------- so, for the people who did go (I didn't), how was it? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Thu Mar 15, 2007 1:25 pm RE:campus day ----------------------------------- I thought it was pretty good. I got two free cookies. (Satire intended.)
