The University of Waterloo is proud to host the FIRST LEGO League's first-ever West Ontario Provincials. This year's challenge is "Senior Solutions", asking students to investigate new ways to help seniors stay independent, engaged, and connected. Winners will compete at the World Championships in St. Louis, Missouri or at one of the International Open Championships (held this year in Germany, Florida, and California).

The University of Waterloo plays host to over 30 FIRST Robotics Competition teams whose robots will compete for their schools and the companies that support them. In the heart of Waterloo’s world-class high-tech corridor, teams will get a chance at a berth at the FRC World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri. Come join the best of the best in engineering compete in the most intense robotic sporting event on earth.

Please save the morning of Friday, September 21 and plan to celebrate with us as we open the doors to the University of Waterloo's newest building, the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre. 
 

On Thursday, April 12th, 2012, Professor Vaidhyanathan Ramamurthy from the University of Miami, will deliver a lecture titled "Chemistry in a Nanocapsule: Controlling excited state processes through confinement and weak interactions".  This lecture is free and open to the public!

The visiting professorship was founded in 1992 by the late Walter Bean, who was president of Waterloo Trust until its merger with Canada Trust in 1968. The professorship seeks to promote a legacy of community involvement and commitment to youth, education and community, and involves uWaterloo's faculties of Engineering, Environment and Science.
