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 fourth annual Creative Scholarship Showcase will highlight undergraduate and graduate creative scholarship, artistic pieces, and new productions of UCF students from a variety of disciplines during Student Research Week. Participants are encouraged to go beyond traditional research posters and create a unique deliverable that reflects their findings and creative vision. This could include various forms of expression such as visual art, multimedia presentations, performances, or interactive projects that highlight the research in a compelling way.
