SfGS ecoexpo

SfGS is pleased to announce EcoExpo: MIT’s Sustainability Exhibition, an opportunity for MIT undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their ideas, efforts and energies surrounding the theme of sustainability. It will be held on Friday, 8 December 2006 from 2.30 – 4.30 p.m.

We intend for students to present 2D, 3D and interactive exhibits and posters about

(1) research projects that they have conducted

(2) campaigns that they have implemented on local or more regional scales

(3) ideas for local projects that they would like to execute.

The audience will be the MIT community and, in addition, we will invite MIT administrators and representatives from local sustainability and ecology organizations. One entry submitted under the third category heading above will be selected to receive SfGS funds to be brought to fruition during the spring term.

For (1) and (2) above, all projects should exemplify:

• Sustainability

• Creativity

Originality

Degree of positive impact on society and the earth

Also consider:

Potential degree of impact in improving sustainability from local to global scale

Feasibility

Ability to integrate into society and everyday life (e.g. practicality)

Potential to even become a societal norm!

Vision towards the future

Existence of action steps towards becoming a reality
