Regional Science Bowl on Saturday

Dear coaches,

I have talked to many of you over the phone about different aspects of tomorrow's Regional Science Bowl and figured I'd give you a bit of a last minute update. As you know I'm one of the coordinators for the Department of Energy's Science Bowl in South Florida which this year promises to be more exciting than ever!

As for logistics:

The competition will take place at the FIU Engineering Center (NOT the FIU main campus). We're located just a few blocks north of the University's main campus. Address is as follows:

10555 W. Flagler St.
Miami, FL 33174
(located at the corner of 107th Ave and W. Flagler St.)
There'll be signs and people directing you where to go once you arrive.

Registration for the event will begin at 7:00 am on the first floor of the building. Please know that we expect the competition to begin by 8:00 am. If you have not checked in with us on the first floor, you will not be allowed to compete. There will also be no additional team registration the day of the competition. If there are any changes or additional registration that you need done, please let me know today! Thanks!

Please remember to bring a check for $40 per team made out to AHETEMS with you to registration. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Thank you!

Thanks again for your attention to all of these matters and I look forward to meeting you and your teams tomorrow morning!
