The poster session has been expanded to give projects more ways to showcase their activities: (1) poster(s) describing project work and graduate student STEM research, (2) a lesson to share, and/or 3) an example of how technology is used to support teaching and learning or to make project management more efficient and productive (e.g., online tracking/management of projects).
