Can group projects present?

Group projects are great! Each student who wishes to be credited as having presented at REAL must register separately as a presenter, and complete an upload of their presentation materials on the presentation platform.  Materials may be created by the group or by individual members of the group.  Each group member will be required to create and upload a unique reflection piece.  ‘Live’ talks (virtual but synchronous; minimum of two one-hour sessions over the course of the event) may be presented as a group, and/or individual group members may have their own solo sessions.

Is REAL only a poster session?    NO!

Holding REAL virtually allows students to share their projects in many formats like:

• traditional research posters
  • Poster tips: Check out our Resource page for a poster template and HOUR logos and visit the CMC for access to great software and help with poster design.
• a slide deck (with a recorded presentation accompanying)
• a recorded performance, demonstration, short film, or oral presentation
• a photo or art gallery-like presentation

Thinking of something different? Just reach out to us! HOUR staff wants to work with any student unsure of the best format for their project. Contact us at [email protected] to brainstorm presentation ideas for your project.
