6-2 Present Project to Public

Your team will participate in a public poster presentation to demonstrate and explain your project to an audience.

The people attending the presentation will walk around to each team to learn about the projects, spending a few minutes with each team. You will most likely have to present multiple times to different small groups of people.

YOUR TASK

• Prepare and practice a basic 2-3 minute presentation that describes the problem your team targeted and demonstrates the solution you developed. Then if the audience seems interested in learning more, you can explain in more detail how you researched, designed, developed, and evaluated your project.

• Each team member should be prepared to help present as needed.

• On the day of the event, be sure you have your project poster, smart device prototype, and a laptop or mobile device to demonstrate your web app. You may also want to have your product marketing website available for viewing on a laptop or tablet.

• During the presentation, be friendly, confident, and engaging. When demonstrating your smart device product, give the audience members an opportunity to interact with it, so they can directly experience using your solution.

• Be prepared to respond to questions from the audience members.

• Treat every audience member as a potential judge (because some of them may be judges).
