Advice
Make it fun and informative (don’t feel you need to be constrained by traditional academic posters). Stay away from text heavy posters.
A few links of inspiration:
- Good background on scientific posters
- Intro to Research Posters
- Stack Exchange discussion: Examples of good academic poster design
Past Projects Include
- Integrated Waste Management System Design for the Kuna Yala Islands in Panama; students worked on waste flow assessment and the design and implementation of local businesses.
- Design of a Regional Recycling Facility for the Luz del Futuro Waste Pickers association in Bluefields, Nicaragua; students designed collection routes and local technologies offering substantial increases in profit.
