FRI Summer Fellow Poster Template

This repository contains all you need to create a poster for the end of the summer. It relies on HTML, CSS, Jinja2 and Python.

The repository is forked from Clément Pit-Claudel's academic-poster-template repository

How to get started

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Open summer_template.jinja2 in any text editor.
3. Change the poster title to your poster title on line 5.
4. Change the poster subtitle to your subtitle on line 7.
5. Change author names on lines 27-29.
6. Change the email address to your email on line 58.

Sections to complete

• Line 68 - Executive Summary
  • Fill out your problem statement, approach, what you learned, and recommendations.
  • This should be mostly text, remember it is an industrial strength abstract.
• Line 93 - Approach
  • Give us some background on the problem (why should we care).
  • How are you solving the problem?
  • Introduce data, models, and why you decided to use this approach.
  • There are examples of how to include math and equations.
• Line 123 - Results and Lessons Learned
  • What did you find in your research?
  • What did you learn along the way?
  • This is your chance to add images, graphs, and other rad things. There are examples of how to embed images and figures into your poster in the template.
• Line 135 - Recommendations
  • What do we do now?
  • What do you recommend for future work?
  • What should the plan of action be for stakeholders?
• Line 143 - Acknowledgements
  • Time to thank those who helped you along the way

Once you have completed the sections it is time to build your poster. To do this save summer_template.jinja2 with a different name (e.g. transformer_team.jinja2) in the same directory. Next, open up a terminal and cd into the academic-poster-template directory. From here you want to render your jinja2 file into html. To do this from the terminal run python ./render.py transformer_team.jinja2 transformer_poster.html. This will run render.py and convert transformer_team.jinja2 and associated files into a html file named transformer_poster.html. Last, open the html file and admire all your hard work!
