At The El Capitan Theatre to see Frankenweenie again! But this time it was to see the Science Fair Awards hosted by the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana!
Here were the rules to enter this contest:
The first 50 participating students will receive a ticket to see
Frankenweenie
at the historic El Capitan Theatre, and a pair of tickets to visit
Discovery Science Center. The exciting first round of judging to
determine the finalists will happen the week of September 10, 2012, and
then finalists will be judged by VIP judges the week of September 27. Of
all participating students, six finalists will be selected to have
their projects on display at El Capitan Theatre from October 5 to
November 1, 2012. In addition, the six finalists will each receive
Disneyland tickets for them and three guests for reaching this
distinguished level.
The Science Fair competition concludes at the El Capitan Theatre on
October 5th when three Grand Prize winners will accept their awards at a
special ceremony, on the El Capitan stage prior to the showing of
Frankenweenie. Grand Prize winners will receive all prizes listed previously plus a behind-the-scenes tour of Walt Disney Studios.
Interested participants must be entering the 2012-2013 school year as
a 5th – 12th grade student. All projects must present an experimentally
based research design; illustrating scientific methodology or a
demonstration/exhibition of a science or engineering concept based on
themes from the movie
Frankenweenie.
So, with that being said, let's head into the theatre!
Downstairs they have an exhibit featuring some of the props and sets from the movie though the bulk of these items are in the Animation Building at Disney California Adventure for their Frankenweenie exhibit!
Besides the props, this is where the six finalists for the Science Fair have their experiments.
