H/FOSS Project Poster
Posters have become a common mechanism for presenting project results at professional meetings and conferences. This assignment provides experience developing a poster and presenting your work in a less formal small group or one-on-one setting. Students will present their poster at the Science Research Symposium or the Civic Engagement Symposium. The course faculty will work with teams to determine the appropriate venue.
