  • Showcase Poster Template
    • Generally use bullets/figures/pictures, instead of long sentences--think what a judge would want to see/know. I suggest:
    • a. Motivation and Problem/Goal: Why is your project interesting/useful/important potentially for a large group of people (not just you)? What are the "pains"/problems that your system is designed to help solve?
    • b. Approach: What can your system do (ie. accomplished key features/functionalities)? Bullets with screenshots/pictures/plots/...
    • c. Implementation: How did you accomplish your system? System architecture, algorithms, tools, ...
    • d. Evaluation Results: How well does your system function? "measurement of success"--performance/speed/accuracy/userSurveys/...
    • e. Limitations and Improvements: What can't the system do? How can the system be improved?
  • Showcase Ebook page Template
    • template from Showcase: "at least project topic, design problem statement, major challenges, solution methods, data analysis, and conclude with a summary sentence. You may also include possible broader implications of your project and anticipated future work."
    • [or five topics (a-e) as suggested for the poster above, but in paragraph format]
  • banner picture (to be placed at the top of a project webpage), PNG file, high resolution (16:5 and 450dpi, max file size 25MB), questions to: Peter Zappala, pzappala@fit.edu
  • optional video, max 5 mintues (MP4 file, 720p, 16:9, max file size 50MB), questions to: Peter Zappala, pzappala@fit.edu
  • Online showcase website
