6-2 Present Project to Public

The audience attending the public presentation will walk around and spend a few minutes with different teams to learn about their project. You will most likely have to present and demonstrate your project multiple times to various small groups of people.

YOUR TASK

1. Prepare and practice a verbal presentation that describes the problem your team targeted and explains/demonstrates the solution you created.

   • Have a short "pitch" (less than 3 minutes) that you can use to engage and educate audience members.

   • For audience members that are interested in learning more, be prepared to explain your game in more detail and how you researched, designed, developed, and evaluated it.

   • Think about ways to use your poster, game, and verbal presentation to supplement each other.

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

2. For the day of the event, be sure you have the following:

   • Your team's project poster

   • Internet-connected computer (to demonstrate your game and show your marketing website)

   • OPTIONAL: Any other materials that your team may want to use in its presentation (such as concept art, paper prototype, etc.)

3. During the presentation:

   • Be friendly, confident, and engaging. Treat every audience member as a potential judge (because some of them might be judges).

   • Be sure to give audience members an opportunity to play your game.

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

   • Be respectful of your audience's time — they also want to see other team's projects during the event.
