BRIAN NELITZ was an example of an Enrichment student whose project "really took Off". His topic, "Compar- ing Ornathopers (Flapping) with Pro- pellers, placed him 3rd in the Canada Wide Science Fair in Calgary, as well as winning the David Suzuki Communica- tions Award for skill in communicating ideas, the Queen's University Engineer- ing Award for exhibiting enginuity and skill in the use of materials and $650. in cash prizes. Brian's topic for Enrichment this year was "Vertical Takeoff and Lan- ding of Aircrafts" and he once again is aiming at the national competition.
Frank Posta became an expert on the Auto·Cab.
The Enrichment Programme at C.C.I. is well established in its second year of operation . It is designed to allow students to research an area of interest through independant study. Each student accepted into the programme contracts to complete a unique project. It may result in a written report, an essay or a visual product, such as a computer pro- gramme or a videotape production.
During the past year, students have earned part or full credits in a varie- ty of areas. A few examples of recently completed projects include the following: short story writing, a computer programme for mythology, an original dramatic production on drinking and driving that has been televised, the creation of a United Nations simulation game that has been implemented on a county-wide basis and an experiment involving the aerodynamics of a variety of wing-type plane models.
