Geek Week 2013 is happening from January 21 to 25 at SFU’s Burnaby campus! Each day features daily challenges, exciting prizes and demonstrations from different Science Departmental Student Unions. We are also giving away free food and holding the famous Periodic Table of Cupcakes bake sale!
Wear a geeky T-shirt (Frosh, Geek Week, DSU, Big Bang Theory, anything geeky goes…) and come by our set-up to enter your name into a raffle for a Geek Week PRIZE pack. You can enter once per day! Buying a Geek Week shirt counts as wearing a geeky shirt that day.
If you win the daily challenge (timed activity) you automatically win a Geek Week prize pack, but just participating in a challenge gives you a chance to win the Geek Week GRAND PRIZE, a 16 GB iPad Mini!
