Hello people, 

 

I met two of your members in Acton recently. And they asked me to forward
this information, since your members and their friends should be "naturals"
for this kind of activity.

 

 The application period is now open for entrants to the first ever Science
Trivia Contest as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. Five person teams
in the Open or Youth (high school) Divisions will compete at:

 

6:30PM, Wednesday April 25 

Kirsch Auditorium at the MIT Stata Center 

Vassar & Main Street, Cambridge MA 

 

More details are available at  <http://web.mit.edu/trivia/>
http://web.mit.edu/trivia/  and on the page below.  Please note there is
registration fee to cover the cost of food, and that - because space is
limited - entries must be accepted on a first-come, first-accepted basis.
Prizes include lunch/dinner with a Nobel Laureate.   

 

Thanks, Bob
