If you would like to come, please email (lel@discovery.wisc.edu) or call (608) 316-4483 to reserve a spot. More information can be found here:
As an initial note, remember that your final post will be the first thing the outside world will see when they find your project. This post should include the following items:

For tonight’s event, be sure to look nice. This is a professional presentation and you will be talking to members of the public. Please arrive by 3:30 so that we can make sure everything is setup on time.
If you want help on poster printing, meet at the front desk at the discovery building (WID) at 10:30am tomorrow. You wont be able to get inside if you are late, so make sure you have everything ready to go.

As the end of the semester is rapidly approaching, I thought I would list some thoughts and considerations.
Friday’s event is open to the public
I am guessing we will have between 50-100 people, but the event the last week drew 200+. In this regard, having a good and functional project is important not only for your grade, but also for your own esteem.
Better late than never
Any work that has not been submitted gets a zero. Late work however, can get up to 50%. In this regard, you may want to check back through your postings, assignments, etc and make sure you have something there. You may also want to email me to let me know if you posted something late so that I don’t miss it.
Projects and posters can not be turned in late
The event happens at 5pm on the 12th. There is no ability to turn these items in late so make sure they are done on time.
Make sure you are following directions
The project posting guidelines can be found here
https://blogs.discovery.wisc.edu/wearable14/2014/11/11/project-update-posting-structure/
Make sure your posts include all of the items. If they don’t you will lose credit.
Make sure your posts are labelled correctly
If the category for your posts are set up correctly, people following your project will have a tough time. Be sure all of your posts have the correct label
Here is a poster for the showcase event.
You can download a pdf copy here for printing

For the final project showcase, you will need to make a poster for your work. An example of how your poster could look can be found at:

The poster should include:

Intent
Inspiration Images
Project Description (Bullet Point List)

Right now we will plan on having a final critique on Monday December 15th at 6pm. Let us know if you have any conflicts.
