Poster Contest
To promote Math Awareness Month around our campuses, Wake Tech math and physics students participated in a poster contest to illustrate and describe how they use math every day. Over one hundred students submitted posters. Posters were judged according to the criteria: everyday relevance, mathematical correctness, creativity, uniqueness, and quality. Cash prizes and flash drives were awarded to the top ten winners.
