#cc'19

If you didn’t pre-order a shirt before con, we’ve temporarily opened orders if you’d still like one. These orders are only open to those in the US or Canada, as we cannot ship to other countries.

(This has been moved to the hotel Doubletree by Hilton Montreal due to the moon being in space. Thank you for your understanding.)

Our judges are our three guests of honor: Diane Duane, Mark Oshiro, and Kate Howells, and they are all looking forward to seeing what you come up with as much as we are!

The Invitational is a celebration of all things science, and everyone is welcome to participate! It doesn’t have to be science based either; your project can be in the realm of wizardry, too! A classic example of a project is the paper-mache volcano, but if you know what spell to use to encourage growth in a forest after a fire, let us know! All projects should be leaning towards a purpose or reducing entropy in some way.

You can make your project ahead of time and bring it to Montréal, or there will be preparation time and space at the Con! There will be a $25 limit on supplies (don’t worry about the exchange rate unless it lets you buy that last thing you need to demonstrate how Jupiter and Saturn resonate).

Everyone is welcome to walk around and observe, leave comments or tokens, or ask questions of the presenter!

We can’t wait to see what you all come up with! If you have any questions or comments, please email [email protected].

CrossingsCon is very happy to announce that Kate Howells will be a guest of honour at CrossingsCon 2019!

Kate Howells is the author of Space is Cool as Fuck, member of the Government of Canada’s Space Advisory Board and Global Community Outreach Manager at The Planetary Society, an organization that aims to empower people all around the world to become involved in advancing space exploration. This includes education for people of all walks of life, advocating for funding in governments, and even funding and developing their own space science and technology, including solar powered space craft and asteroid defense systems.

We are so excited to have Kate attend CrossingsCon 2019! You can read more about her here and The Planetary Society here.
