Golden Rules

1- Come early. Setups can be very demanding. Plan for risks and the unexpected.

2- All team members have to be professionally dressed.

3- Be innovative, creative and leave a strong impression. Interact with audience as much as possible

4- Plan early and smartly. Make sure that all your resources will be available on time. Stay on budget allocated to each team.

5- Communicate and coordinate effectively with all stakeholders of the event (Team members , media services , instructor and school administrators) 

6-Explain both the process and the product in your presentation to all your both visitors.

Your Presentation Components

1- One well printed color poster. This poster has to map the process and the product of your project .In   other words , it has to explain the phases and the features and  functionalities of your final product in a story board fashion (briefly).

2-  Live and interactive presentation from your entire team using PowerPoint slides about the project and how it was carried out from the beginning. This has to run repeatedly every 30 minutes  or   whenever you have a new group of audience or even one or two people  wondering about your work. Expect your audience to ask many questions or to have concerns. Be prepared to answer any anticipated questions your diverse audience may have.

3- A live demo of your actual  product itself functioning and working well on a computer (smartcard system from media services , your laptop , a projector, a screen or all that combined ). This can be part of your live presentation above and/or you can use a powerful presentation technology such as Camtasia Studio or allow hand-on testing.

You can also input voice with your presentation and leave it playing continuously while you make direct interaction with your audience.

4- Publications that your audience can take home. This includes brochures, pamphlets, flyers, handouts, CD's DVD's, business cards, etc.    Please make enough black and white and/or color copies. Expect hundreds of people to come and visit you.
