Design Fair

Near the end of Winter semester, we will hold a Design Fair where you will have the opportunity to demonstrate the desirability of your design. Similar to a science fair, you will set up a display that shows your hardware along with a poster than describes the challenges your design overcomes and how well it has been demonstrated to meet the challenges.

Your team will display your design and poster in a booth, and explain the desirability of your design to guests of the event. If possible, you will also want to display and demonstrate hardware and/or software prototypes.

In addition to the sponsors, the design fair will attract the general public and next year’s Capstone students.

We invite media representatives to the design fair, and one or two interesting projects are often highlighted on local news. Sometimes the stories are carried nationally.

We hope you'll be excited about this opportunity to share your work with lots of people and that you'll do your best to have an exciting presentation.

Your team will need to set up your booth before the beginning of the fair..

The design fair lasts for two hours, and we expect at least one person from your team to be at the booth at all times during the fair.

You will need to remove your materials from your booth at the completion of the fair.

Approximately three weeks before the final design fair, the Capstone office will request information concerning the booth size and utilities needed for your display. Please respond promptly to allow us to properly organize the fair.
