The conference showcases work, projects, and activities from across the Science, Medical Studies and Engineering (SMSE) programs and in collaboration with other Dawson College initiatives. It is a lively festival of science featuring sessions of talks, poster presentations, science-fair-style installations, live demonstrations and activities.<\/p>\n<div data-service=\"vimeo\" data-category=\"functional\" data-id=\"264498347\" data-title=\"\" data-autoscale><\/div>\n<h3>How do I get involved?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Presenters<\/h3>\n<p>Options and detailed instruction will be provided upon acceptance for ScienceFest.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Poster presentation [May 6-10 in 3C.1]<\/li>\n<li>Oral presentation [date to be determined, with a referral and coordination from a faculty supervisor]<\/li>\n<li>Project demonstration [May 6-10 in 3C.1 in collaboration with SPACE, with a referral from a faculty supervisor]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Register <a href=\"https:\/\/www-staging.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/conference-registration\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www-staging.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/ScienceFest-2017-Booklet-FINAL.pdf\">ScienceFest 2017 Conference Booklet<\/a> Check out the student talks, posters and demo presentations from a previous year.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a faculty member who has been involved with program activities or as a supervisor\/mentor to student projects, we encourage you to inform your students of the opportunity to share their work.<\/p>\n<h3>ScienceFest\/SPACE Photography Competition<\/h3>\n<p>Again this year for ScienceFest!

No experience will be necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The themed challenge is Arduino-based and will involve the construction of a micro-robot designed to perform a task.<\/strong> 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. <strong><em>Registration is separate from the ScienceFest presenters form (see below).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE ROBOTICS HACKATHON <a href=\"https:\/\/www-staging.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/roboticshack2024\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Volunteers<\/h3>\n<p>Volunteers are always needed. Your participation could be formally credited for volunteering hours (Recognition of Student Involvement), and it looks good on your CV!<\/p>\n<p>Student volunteers will primarily be tasked with
