Assignment 7-6: Final Project Poster

Final Project: Poster (Topic of your choosing)

Instructions

• Choose a topic related to Smart Phones. It can be something we've covered this semester (dive a little deeper) or something we didn't cover. 

  • Find at least 3 credible sources that talk about this topic. Are there also less credible sources / incorrect information readily available about this topic?

• Make a poster that describes:

  • (40 points) An interesting technical aspect of a smart phone (or the smart phone system, etc. … anything we’ve learned about or that touches a smart phone somehow)
    1. What is it?
    2. What does it do?
    3. HOW does it work?
  • (40 points) A societal impact of the technology
    1. Such as … positive or negative impacts, equity/access, environmental/resource impacts, politics, etc.
    2. What known or potential global impact(s) does this connect to?

  (20 points for communicating your ideas via a poster.Be sure to CITE the sources of information you used.

• Any of the methods listed below will be considered “equal”, you don’t have to get fancy.) A “poster” can be made several ways.

  1. Power point slide that is sized to be a poster and printed at the Marriott Library (costs about $30)
  2. A poster board (from bookstore, etc.) decorated any way you like.
  3. 9-12 power point slides printed out on paper (we’ll have poster board you can tape them to to make them stiff enough)
• DETAILS: 
  • Date/Time: Last Day of Class
  • Location: Warnock Engineering Building (WEB) (4 story building just south of MEB)  Catmull Gallery (large entry area on the main/second floor.
  • Posters will be placed on easels. We will have poster board (the stiff/foam-filled kind) available to clip/tape your poster to. Poster boards are 40x32 inches. You can orient them vertically or horizontally, whichever you prefer. If you need tape, please bring it. I'll bring some, but it's handy to have multiple tapes.

Submit

Bring your poster/attend the event above.

Also submit a copy of your poster on this assignment.

Please make every possible effort to attend class today, but if you absolutely can't (health, etc.), please also post a 2-5 minute video instead of the poster. You can use a few slides to support this. Zoom allows you to create a video quite easily, or you can use the canvas tools such as My Media to create or upload your video.
