Re: Interviews

Judges may ask for more in depth details about something in your submission. I encourage everyone to practice what to say in those 5 minutes. Time yourselves. It is unpleasant to interrupt a presenter, but judges need to do it to be fair to everyone. Make sure you don't save the best part for last and then never get to the best part.

The judges are on your side. They are not out to trip you up. Judges understand that you may be nervous. But please don't go into the interview unprepared. This is just like a job interview or a college interview.
Have fun!
