Pat, Your comprehensive history of units (the right side of your poster) is of interest to historians of metrology, but it can only confuse members of the general public. DELETE IT ENTIRELY from any proposed poster for Metric Week.
Concentrate on base units meter, kilogram, second, and ampere (without the other base units); and only the prefixes milli, centi, kilo, and mega (without the other prefixes except, perhaps. micro for which the Greek symbol is a problem). More curious readers can add the details of SI from carefully chosen citations of NIST and USMA sources.
