My team, 2486, usually comes up with some sort of theme and uses it for our essay, presentation, judges packet, and video. We usually do a presentation with "props." Last year, our theme was sort of based on graduation, since our founding members were graduating. We designed a "yearbook" type judge's packet with all of our info. This year our theme was a time capsule. We made our video as if we were speaking about ourselves to a future rookie team. In our presentation, with each subject, alumni, outreach, ect., we would place one momento into a time capsule that we made. For our essay, we told a story of a rookie team who found our time capsule, along with our team information inside. Then at each regional that we have been to this year, we have actually given a time capsule to a rookie team. As far as I know we have not used a power point or video in our presentation, and we have been very successful that way.
