Do you have an interesting class or student project dealing with an environmental issue or topic? Come showcase your project at the Spokane Youth Environmental Conference!
Student’s projects should tie in to this year’s conference theme: Living the Green Life. It’s a good way to bring environmental science issues to a local level and understand how these issues affect the Inland Northwest.
There are three ways to present a project at the conference:
- Session Presenter: You/your group can share an environmental project using overheads, slides, computer slide show or a video. A maximum of three students may present on a single project.
- Poster Exhibitor: You/your group can create a display of your environmental project to showcase during the conference “poster session.”
- Other Presentation Formats: You can also choose to present your research project using a creative presentation format, such as a skit, newspaper, photo essay, book, website, documentary or newscast.
Conference attendance is limited to:
- Students displaying a poster or giving a presentation at the conference
- Students who have participated in a class project being presented by other students from their class, or
- Students who completed a project in class but are not presenting at the conference.
