UCF’s researchers don’t just produce research papers, posters, and conference presentations: they also write poetry and stories, draw, paint, build, film, design, code, sew, shape, and more! The second annual Creative Scholarship Showcase will highlight some of the creative scholarship, artistic pieces, and new production of UCF students from a variety of disciplines.
Exhibition
During Research Week, explore a series of interactive displays. These displays will feature artworks and videos and/or posters explaining how each work was made possible by the knowledge and skills the creator gained through research.
Meet the Makers and Mentors
Come and meet the creators! This event will feature a brief introduction. Then each student will stand by their piece and discuss their creation with the members of the audience as they come by. Event Details below
