STUDENT and FACULTY PROJECT SHOWCASE

SUNY Poly continues the tradition of bringing to the forefront the outstanding academic work that takes place on our campus, across all programs and fields.

This year, the Showcase will inaugurate the addition of the research and scholarship work of the faculty, transforming the event into an all-inclusive  Student and Faculty Project Showcase (SFPS).

The showcase will open a window into the research, scholarship, creative endeavors and applied/experiential learning that undergraduate or graduate students together with the faculty develop on SUNY Poly campus.

Have you done research you want to share, accomplished something great with your student club, designed your own game or invented a new drone? Come present your hard work at the Student & Faculty Project Showcase!

The Student & Faculty Project Showcase has been designed to offer a platform for SUNY Poly students and faculty, across its four colleges, to display innovative skills to their colleagues and local industry partners.

However, we also invite students from High Schools and faculty in other academic institutions from the community surrounding SUNY Poly to participate in the Showcase and register to submit their work using the “Community” registration form below.

All students working on individual or team projects – including senior capstone projects, research, creative projects, and entrepreneurship projects – are eligible and encouraged to participate.

Faculty participation will add more interest to the Showcase allowing the students and visitors to learn about the range of scientific and creative endeavors that are based on SUNY Poly campus.

THERE WILL BE PRIZES! CASH PRIZES!

Prize categories are divided by disciplines.
