The event proudly showcases the outstanding projects from all undergraduate teaching laboratories in the Faculty.

The event includes an opening session, an impressive project exhibition in the Mayer Building lobby, and an exciting award ceremony for the Yehoraz Kasher Memorial Awards.

This year, for the second time, you, the students, will also have the opportunity to explore these projects and take part in the judging process by selecting the “People’s Choice Poster Award.”
