Another spectacular warm sunny morning in
Lethbridge greeted us. We met for our breakfast at 7:30am
with Calvin
Cycles being drawn on paper plates and Dr. Who dominating our breakfast
conversation. It was off to another morning of public viewing (schools)for our finalists and meetings for the delegates.
We met for lunch and then
headed off to our Discovery Day sessions held at Lethbridge University.
The favourites for Aaron, Brandan and Govind were trying to crack
the codes at the Logic and Puzzles session, Aysar was impressed with his
session on performative science and Theresa enjoyed seeing
Theresa made some great trades with the Aussies today as well.
We met
later in the evening to go over some last minute details and each of their
presentations in preparation for the formal judging day tomorrow. They are
all confident about what they have to say and Scott and I are extremely proud
of what they have accomplished so far. It was a very low key evening, and
just as well. They were in their rooms by 9:30pm and can look forward to
a good day tomorrow. 
The quote of the day has to be from
Theresa after hearing Aaron explaining his animated version of the Calvin
Cycle to Brandan, " I think rocket science must be easier than that.
It reminds me of why I don't like plants!"

Length: 1,623.86 m (5,327.625 ft)
Height: 95.7 m (314.0 ft) above river bed
Materials: 12,400 tons of steel
Deck spans and lengths:
44 plate girder spans each of 20.4 m (66.93 ft)
22 plate girder spans each of 30.15 m (98.92 ft)
one riveted lattice-truss of 32.6 m (106.96 ft)
