and research knowledge. Please follow

Checklist for the event
ü Registration:
All winners choosing to display their projects must register with COSI Toledo by Saturday,
April 14, 2001. Please call Betsy Hood to register, leaving
the names of both the W.I.S.E. award winner and one adult guest. Also let us know at that time of any special
needs, such as electrical or audio-visual, you may have. This will ensure that COSI Toledo will have
a designated area, table, chairs, and other items for you to best showcase
your project. Equipment is limited
and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
ü Date of event:
Saturday, April 21, 2001, exhibiting from noon until 2:00 p.m., with
displays remaining until Friday, April 27
ü Location:
COSI Toledo, downtown Toledo, 1 Discovery Way (See the map on the reverse side for directions.)
ü Arrival and set-up: Please arrive between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m. to set up your display.
Go to the Visitor Services desk for sign-in and set-up instructions.
Participants may drop off in the COSI turn-around at the front of our
building on Summit Street, but must then park all vehicles in nearby lots
or at meters. (See the map.) Please
limit your time in the turn-around to what is needed for unloading your display. Toledo police ticket or tow all unauthorized
vehicles. If you have special needs
for set-up or need to arrive earlier than 11:00 a.m., please let us know at
the time of your registration.
ü Display Space:
Participants will have one-half of an eight-foot table on which to
display their projects. Please bring
some type of table covering, such as a tablecloth or banner, as well.
ü Admission Cost:
W.I.S.E. award winners and one adult guest per winner will be admitted
at no cost. Additional family members
and friends are welcome to visit COSI Toledo for the day at the admission
cost of $7.50 per big kid (ages 18 and over) and $6.50 for kids ages 3-18
and seniors (65+). Kids 2 and under
are admitted free.
ü Display time:
Noon until 2:00 p.m. within COSI Toledo. After 2:00 p.m., COSI will set up stanchions so that your display
may remain but deter visitors from touching anything. Please remember that COSI has hundreds of visitors, so we ask that
winners or their registered adult guests remain stationed at the display while
stanchions are down, from noon until 2:00 p.m. This will enhance interaction with COSI visitors and ensure the
safety of your display. Be sure to
remove anything of value after 2:00 p.m.
COSI Toledo is not responsible for any damage to displays. As a winner,
you and your one registered adult guest are invited to explore COSI after
2:00 p.m.
ü Tear down:
All displays must be torn down by 5:00 p.m. on Friday April 27,
2001. You may again use the turn-around on Summit
Street for loading up displays. But
remember that this is not a parking area and that Toledo police ticket or
tow all unauthorized vehicles.
and we look forward to seeing you on April 21!
