Chairmen's Award Presentations in Atlanta

[Simon Strauss]

This year my team has won the NYC Regional Chairmen's award qualifing us for the national Chairmen's award aswell. The question i have is what does the Nationals Chairmens presentation entale. I am begining to prep a new power point and the handouts i will be giving the judges and i want to know what to expect.

My main questions right now are, how many judges, who should i expect to be among them, and if there are any differences in the questions they ask from the ones asked at regionals.

Thanks,
Simon

Last year there were four judges in Atlanta... one was Dr. Kamen, Dean's Brother, so expect anything. Question wise its all about the same. Be prepared to answer anything, even something non-chairman's related. Re-doing your power point may be good, take into account the info given on your feedback sheet. Don't worry to much. Have fun! Be yourself.

MAKE SURE YOU STOP BEFORE 5 MINUTES! Last year we had a presentation that went over 5 minutes, and we got stopped right on time. We ended up not getting all of our info out to the judges. Also, they asked us about the same questions as they did in regionals. Just make sure you know everything about the award and essay as they stomped us a couple of times with that too.
