 ==First Week of Hype==
-The first Week of Hype was an attempt by former [[PR Director|Public Relations Officer]] [[Stefan De Young]] to increase awareness of the OCESS among the students of [[Lisgar]] by running lunchtime activities for students during the [[2005-06]] year. These activities included [[Hovercraft|hovercraft rides]], a [[Planetarium|Planetarium demonstration]], a tour of the [[440 Albert|Albert Street facilities]], [[Liquid Nitrogen]] explosions, [[bake sale]]s and the ever-popular distribution of [[Liquid Nitrogen Marshmallows]] during lunch hours, and in some cases after school, of the WoH. The WoH suffered from poor planning and animosity from the administration, culminating in the cancellation of the planned assembly for all students, and failed to achieve the desired effect. Turnout for activities varied, and it was determined that there was no net member gain due to the WoH. However, it raised awareness, and perhaps changed the perception of the OCESS that many people held.

 The three most successful activities of the Week of Hype were definitely the bake sales, the hovercraft rides, and the Planetarium, all of which did not involve making students go out of their way to see them. These activities took place in the Mall and in the Main Hall. All the other activities took place on the fourth floor of the school, the open house at Ottawa Tech excepted. These events, combined with daily announcements read by the PR Director, fulfilled the goal of the Week of Hype.

-Since that year, there has been an annual Week of Hype. However, in the [[2007-08]] year, it was misspelled by the school administration, and therefore the school agendas from that year say "Week of Height", causing an outbreak of puns about the height (and lack of) of certain members. As it turned out, during that Week of "Height", office staff accidentally mispronounced "Spacesim" as "[[Space-ism]]" and confused "bottle rockets" with "battle rockets".

 ==Clubs Day==
 {{main|Clubs Day}}
 At Lisgar's Clubs Day, clubs are assigned places in the Mall where they set up displays to promote their organization. Spacesim usually takes up more than one place to allow room for the Planetarium as well as a surface to hand out liquid nitrogen marshmallows. Unfortunately, due to Spacesim's reputation, many people sign up themselves or friends as a joke. This notwithstanding, Spacesim recruits many potential members at Clubs Days.
