6. Each project presentation should not have more than 6 slides in total. Here’s how we would like your presentations organized. Keep the presentations Short (Describe Idea in Few Words) and Crisp (Convey Idea Clearly and Consequently Quickly). Each presenting Team gets 7 minutes. Use Pictures, Images, schematics instead of Text on Slides. It would make sense to have all members of a team along with their mentor be at the presentation, but it is not mandatory. Only one member need present the slides.

Slides should have the following Sections

SLIDE 1: Title with Student and Mentor Names – 15 secs for audience to read

SLIDE 2: Objective (WHAT Challenge you are trying to address) and the Need (WHY

Space with which the Application Space of your device/product might overlap (as
would a device having to do with transport, traffic, medicine and agriculture, to name a
few) and (3) Existing Industries, such as the car or the medical industry, for instance, if
your device had anything to do with traffic, transportation or drug delivery.

You need to have the panel of judges at buy into your proposal or idea to be able to get through to the 25 Best Proposals that will further be supported with hardware.
