physics meet

IN EIGHT minutes build a
sailboat that will sail upwind, us-
ing only the materials provided.

This was the challenge that
recently earned some Seycove Sec-
ondary students a gold medal at
the 12th Annual UBC Physics
Olympics.

The five Grade 12 physics stu-
dents, Mike Sears, Ed Deary, Ross
Joughin, Elliott Cherneski, Tonis
Tutti and Leif Bartholsen, used
their knowledge of physics and
powers of improvisation to take on
several of the challenges that were
put to more than 80 such teams
from across B.C.

“It was inspiring to watch all of
these brilliant kids working to
complete their tasks,'’ said
Seycove Principal Larry Brown,
who attended the Olympics.

Each team had to try their hands
at each challenge, using a package
of odd materials that were not
designed to aid in facilitating a
solution.

“We've competed before, but
never done this well,”’ says Brown.

The team’s staff sponsor was
John Dawson.

The Physics Olympics are orga-
nized by the mathematics and
physics departments at UBC.
