Day 6: May 14, 2015 - Team IISEF-YSC Ontario at the Projects and Public Viewing

The day started off not so well as the hotel somehow decided to run a 5:30 fire alarm test ... quite annoying.  Poor Cathy .... she was up early to escort Catharine and Dan MacInnis for their 7 am schedukled CBC interviews.  For the rest of us, it was 8:30 am breakfast at the au Bon Pain again.

With Judging out of the way, it was now time to just tell the their stories of their projects to the public.  From 10 am to 2 pm, the Convention Centre was overrun with thousands of Pittsburgh school children who filled the hall with questions and curiosity.  Friendships were made with students of neighbouring projects.
