DAY 80!!!!

1. DAY 80!!!! the end of the journey…

2. When is the final night? May 10th, Tuesday night.

3. What time do we have to be there? Arrive by 6:00 pm at the latest, 5:40 pm at the earliest. You will need to set up your booth before you report to the auditorium by 6:15 pm. Enter the auditorium by the outside door near the stage.

4. What time should I tell my guests to be here? They need to arrive by 6:15 or earlier if possible. It will be very crowded at the school, so the earlier the better to get seats.

5. Do we have to help set up or clean up? No—it is extra credit

6. What do we have to wear? The same standards as presentations apply for Day 80, though you will want to dress cooler because it will be hot. Males are allowed to wear dress/khaki shorts. You can also wear a costume.

7. What do we need to bring? See the list on page 35.

8. Who can come? Students? Guests? Anyone is allowed to come to Day 80. The more, the merrier!! Invite your family, friends, and teachers. There is a $2 cost to get into the auditorium program to help cover costs of Day 80 and AWED costs. We are pre-selling tickets and selling them at the door.

9. How will we be evaluated? Former students and teachers will be assigned to evaluate you. They will be provided with a rubric which has questions to ask you and a checklist for all of your materials. There are also secret evaluators who will be double-checking to make sure that you are evaluated and that you don’t leave your booth!

10. How will I know where my booth is? Beginning in the cafeteria, Traditional AWED booths will be arranged in alphabetical order by country and then by each student’s last name. Booths will also branch out into the halls. Large Project Land will be on the Bus Ramp. Your teacher will talk to you about that if you are assigned there. Top projects will be in the top part of the 500 building.

11. What EXACTLY will happen on that night? 5:40-6:15 pm: set up booths 6:15-6:30 pm: report to auditorium (to your assigned seat) 6:30-7:30 pm: program in auditorium 7:30 –8:30 pm: guests visit booths 8:30-9:30 pm: clean up

12. What time will it be over? 8:30 pm, no matter what!

13. What if I am sick or have an emergency? Your teacher must be contacted if at all possible by your parents. If the excuse is legitimate, the student will receive the alternate assignment. It is required that you come since it is two test grades!

14. What if people I invite cannot come? Is there a penalty? You are only asked to invite people, not to have them come. There is no penalty if the people you invite cannot come.

15. What if I do not have a ride to school at night? Find one. Ride your bike, the bus, or jog here. Car pool with someone else. If you still can’t find a ride, tell your teacher and he or she may be able to help you, but do NOT tell us on Monday or Tuesday. We can’t help then, so we must know by the Friday before Day 80.

16. What happens if I do not show up at all? Without an excuse, you fail.

17. What happens if I leave my booth during the visiting time? You immediately lose thirty points. You must stay at your booth the entire time. You are NOT to go and visit other students, even after the evaluator has been there. You MUST stay and greet all the guests. Go to the bathroom before you come!!

18. Will I have a plug at my booth? It is not guaranteed…and very unlikely. You need to plan as if you do not.

19. What do I need to clean up before I leave? You need to take all of your stuff and then help whoever is at your table take it down and carry it back to the racks in front of the cafeteria to put on the table racks. Put it neatly on the racks! Then you can leave, unless you are on the clean up crew. Take all of your stuff with you. DO NOT THROW STUFF AWAY IN THE BATHROOM TRASHCANS!

20. How much of my recipe do I need to make? Only whatever the recipe makes once. You don’t need to double or triple it. Once it is gone, that’s okay, as long as your evaluator has seen it and had the opportunity to taste it.

21. Do I need to bring cups, plates, napkins, etc.? No, these will be available to the guests on tables in front of the auditorium and cafeteria. Do not take these yourself when you go to your booths! The guests will receive instructions about how to get them. You may want to bring serving utensils.

22. How will I know where my booth is? Beginning in the cafeteria, Traditional AWED booths will be arranged in alphabetical order by country and then by each student’s last name. Booths will also branch out into the halls. Large Project Land will be on the Bus Ramp. Your teacher will talk to you about that if you are assigned there. Top projects will be in the top part of the 500 building.

23. How do I need to act as an audience in the auditorium? Act as if you have common sense!! Be respectful to adults around you and to the PTSA since they will begin the meeting. Do not participate in the voting! This is a formal night…like an awards banquet for you, so act the part of a mature participant. Show the community your positive potential!

24. If I made a costume or am a top presenter, where do I go? Make sure you talk to your teacher about information you need to give her. Then, on that day, after you have set up your booth, report to the back of the stage and there will be people there to direct you.
