Presentation & Display Boards

There is no one way to present your STEAM Project. Please remember that you will not have access to electricity, and you will have approximately one half of a 6ftx3ft folding table to display your project. We recommend using a trifold presentation board as they are self supporting and easiest for displaying. Beyond those basic restrictions, we encourage students to choose how they think they can best display what they did, what they learned, and what they would like to teach others. Students can hand write or type their data, they can draw pictures and diagrams, they can use photographs, create prototypes of their inventions, create a video of their experiment, make an artistic representation....there are no restrictions.
