- 4/1: Poster (Showcase Poster Template) is due via this submission site
  - 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?
- 4/1: E-book page (template) is due via this submission site
  - 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]
