The 13th Bio-Tech Applications Contest took place on February 5, 2011.
Place and time: Los Angeles, California.///
[1] The best way to get to the campus is to go north on Westwood Blvd from Wilshire. Westwood is just east of the 405, and Wilshire is north of the 10, so take the Wilshire exit EAST from the 405 3 stoplights to Westwood. Turn left (North) and drive into the campus (several blocks).
[2] Go to the UCLA Campus Map, and search for Parking Structure 9.
[3] The Parking Kiosk is in the middle of Westwood Plaza, between Parking Structures 8 and 9. Upon entering the campus by coming up Westwood Blvd, stop there for a parking pass, probably into Parking Structure 9. The code word will be "IEEE" to get a free guest pass. We will have a student at the kiosk to help out, though the attendants in the kiosk are pretty helpful, also.
[4] On the campus map, search for Kinsey Pavilion. Zoom out to show the relationship between it and Parking Structure 9.
[5] Hit the "Print" button for a hard copy that you can carry with you. We will also be putting up signs pointing the way to Kinsey Pavilion.
