Poster Printing
*Early Bird Special*: Register your project by February 18 and be eligible to have your poster
printed by the BOOM Committee - free of charge!
Due to resource availability, poster processing requests will be queued through Melissa Totman.
Finalized posters must be sent to Melissa by February 20th in one of the
accepted formats (.ppt, .pdf). Each BOOM project is limited to one printing of their finalized poster.
We will be selecting posters from this group for lamination and long-term display in the Computer Science Department.

Oral Presentation Guidelines
- Oral Presentations should be no longer than 1-2 minutes
- Project presenters should be prepared to give this "overview" talk repeatedly to BOOM visitors and encourage questions.
Oral Presentation Tips
- Rehearse - practice makes perfect.
- Give an opening statement to acquaint the audience with the nature and purpose fo the study.
- State clearly, in laymen's terms. Plan to give a talk that will be understood to people outside of your research area.
- *Do not read your paper*, instead, use an outline of key points and transitions.
