Join the fun!
Carleton is joining 20 other Ontario universities in a Virtual Scavenger Hunt that will take the public on an intriguing online journey through the world of research.
The month-long contest, which begins Feb. 3, is open to students and the general public. Contestants can solve new clues every day to enter for prizes. Intrepid scavengers who get all 21 clues correct will be able to unlock a secret message that they can then submit to be entered for grand prizes.
Students from each of the participating universities (including Carleton) will deliver daily video clues via email to registered contestants whose answers can be hunted down online. Clues will also be available on the Research Matters website at: http://yourontarioresearch.ca/
The puzzle – part of COU’s Research Matters campaign to raise awareness about Ontario university research – was designed by University of Toronto student and enigmatologist Stacy Costa.
Research Matters will be giving away prizes to clue solvers every day, as well as 21 grand prizes of a Research Matters gift bag with clothes, puzzle books and more. In addition, university students will be eligible for five cash prizes of $500 each.
