Step 2: Exhibit Design Proposal

Your exhibit design should be a drawing / blueprint of your exhibit. Although it does not need to highlight all of the information that your exhibit will contain, it must demonstrate a thorough understanding of what your exhibit will look like, what information it will provide, how it will be organized, how it will be built, and how it will work.

Specific Exhibit Requirements

  • A large banner which highlights the exhibit's title and the names of the group members

Research/Experiment

  • You must display each members research paper.
  • You must have at least one poster that explains the groups research/experiment.

Brain Topic

  • You must have a technology component that introduces and explains your exhibit topic (web site, slide show, movie, audio.....).
  • You must include a poster or posters that further educates the audience about your topic.
  • You need to have a hands-on / interactive component that will further involve the audience in your topic.
  • The exhibit should appeal to at least 3 of our 5 senses (taste, touch, sound, sight, smell).
  • The final exhibit should incorporate elements of art into the design.
  • The final exhibit should be professional, eductional, and interesting.
