This is a stream of consciousness list of ideas; there is no particular order to them, nor any particular significance.  The list is by no means exhaustive or complete.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ONE OF THE PROJECTS HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO!  Use the list to find an interesting idea, or to inspire you to think of a new idea.  Maybe you saw something in the book that looked interesting?  Or heard something on the news or read something on the internet?  It doesn't matter where the idea comes from, so long as it is something workable for your poster presentation.

If nothing looks interesting here, we can chat and find a topic that you will enjoy doing some digging into.  If you have an idea about something to do your project on, but aren't sure if it is suitable, ask!

Clear skies!
