Crowe high school in Trail. Prizes to be won include cash awards, trips to the Canada Wide Science Fair in May and a trip to the Suncor Youth Symposium on Arti- ficial Intelligence in June. Projects will be on display for public viewing from noon - 4 p.m. Students in Grades 7 to 12 from local schools will be competing in the fair, or- ganized by local volunteers and sanctioned by the Youth Science Foundation. The Foundation, a charitable non- profit organization, sponsors more than 80 regional science fairs that stretches from Wa- bush, Labrador to Victoria. One of the most coveted prizes is the Suncor Energy Award, which entitles the winner to travel all-expenses paid to a week-long national symposium on artificial in- telligence (AI) in Toronto. The program combines chal- lJenging ideas, “hands on” science and an opportunity to meet like-minded students from all over the country. “Many scientists and futur- ists believe AI will transform our thinking, our jobs and our society,” said Tom Thom- son, president and chief ex- ecutive officer of Suncor Inc. “International researchers will help the students explore these issues. “Experts from Xerox Can- ada and the Canadian In- stitute for Advanced Re- search will also help the stu- dents solve a ‘hand-on’ prob- lem — the design of a simple AI program,” said Thomson. —~ HOME [s) MORE MICROFILM . - Selkirk College archivist Craig Andrews yea ts casts a glance of K ot the microfilmed < yy library clerk Kathleen Swetlishoff, as he lifts bound volumes of c ‘aging 3 periodicals.
