Wednesday, April 21  - Creative Projects

Thursday, April 22 @ 7:30 pm - Winner Presentations and Q&A

The purpose of this festival is to highlight research being done by current SF students. Students can present a poster, a creative project or deliver an oral presentation.

Posters will be judged in one of two categories:

Empirical Research - Empirical research comprises those projects which primarily require data gathering by experiments, surveys, etc. conducted by the same students. Data gathering is guided by a clearly identified research question or hypothesis. Generally speaking, the work in this category is meant to cover projects employing the scientific method. Projects for this category can originate in any department or field of inquiry.

Analytical Research - Analytical research comprised those projects which primarily require students to analyze concepts, interpret texts, and form arguments, etc. Generally speaking, the work in this category includes analyses in support of theses or explanations of difficult concepts, not merely summarization or recitation of known positions. Projects for this category can originate in any department or field of inquiry.

Entries will consist of a poster showcasing research and may include multimedia elements (audio clips, animation, videos)

Suggestions for multimedia:

Suggestions for posters using the same research elements:

  • PowerPoint
  • Canva
  • Adobe

How will the Virtual Festival Work?

The 2021 Virtual Festival will be held virtually. This means that things will work differently than they have in past festivals. Here is what we have planned:
  • Students will register for the festival by Monday, April 5.
  • After registering, students will be added to the RUE Canvas course. A copy of your poster or project must be uploaded to the Canvas course by Thursday, April 15. 
  • Students will be assigned three 15 minute time-slots to meet with a judge between 5 pm to 7 pm on the night of the festival. 
  • The best posters and projects will be asked to present their work and answer questions via Zoom on the evening of Thursday, April 22.
