SILS Project Fair

Time: 3-5 p.m.

SILS is pleased to announce the 2023 SILS Project Fair. This is the 6th annual project fair, an event designed to showcase the work of both our graduate and undergraduate students. Students will have the opportunity to present posters or interactive demos showcasing a project they have done while at SILS.  Entries to the project fair can be based on individual or team class projects, research projects, or side projects developed for any other reason.  This is a great chance to show what you’ve done, receive recognition, and share ideas.

A panel will review the presentations and make awards in three categories:

  • Best Project Award ($200, decided by awards committee, sponsored by SILS)
  • Social Impact Award ($100, decided by awards committee, sponsored by SILS)
  • People’s Choice Award ($100, decided by attendees, sponsored by LAUNC-CH)

This event is open to the public, and we hope you’ll decide to come browse the posters or demos even if you don’t present your own work.  It’s a great way to see what your friends and colleagues have been up to in their work.

Snacks and drinks will be provided for all attendees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a size limit on posters?  How will they be displayed?

A: Posters can be up to 3’x4′ in size.  Posters will be placed on table tops or taped to walls.  Easels will NOT be provided.

Q: What should an interactive demo entry look like?

A: Interactive demos should be shown to audience members using your own laptop or any other device that you provide.  There is limited power in the room, but you should come with fully charged laptops as there may not be enough outlets for all participants.  In addition, interactive demo teams can prepare posters that adhere to the general poster requirements (see question above about posters).  Demos will take place on classroom tables or desks.

Q: Who is eligible to enter the project fair?

A: All SILS undergraduate and master’s program students are eligible.
