Posters (For more info, please contact Ms. Priscilla Jimenez Pazmino, jimenezp@grinnell.edu)
Posters provide an opportunity for an informal presentation featuring “give and take” with conference attendees. Students from a variety of backgrounds can participate and present a poster. This is a good way in which to discuss and receive feedback on a work in progress that has not been fully developed into a paper. You do not have to have conducted research to present a poster.

Format author name: First Last, with optional middle name/initial, no title/degree (except III, Jr.) During submission, designate keywords or topics, e.g., artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, mobile computing, etc. Also, consider broadening participation and computer science education. Seek input from advisor. Submit entries early. Acceptance notification: October 3.

We will provide a tri-fold of this size for presenting the poster at the conference. A poster is expected to visually and concisely describe your work in an organized manner.

Lightning Talks (For more info, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Kleiman, elizabeth-kleiman@uiowa.edu)
Lightning talks are short, mini-presentations to provide opportunities for people to share their work/research/educational activities, insights learned, as well as promoting interactions and collaborations.
Presentation Time
Each lightning talk presentation will be about 5 – 7 minutes. To accommodate multiple presentations in a limited amount of time, we will enforce strict time control to make sure everyone gets the allotted time to give their talk.
Directions
You are expected to arrive 5 minutes earlier before your scheduled session and introduce yourself to the moderator. This would be a good time to test your slides before your presentation begins. You will be provided with a computer with Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Your moderator may instruct you to copy your slides to the computer. A flash drive with your presentation slides is highly recommended. If your presentation slides are not Microsoft Office PowerPoint compliant, you will be responsible for the technical support of your presentation (e.g., bring your own laptop).
Undergraduate & Graduate Research Presentations
