Re: Use of Powerpoint in presentation

I was one of the three students who submitted the chairman's presentation at the Trenton regional. We had previously used a laptop just to show the judges our slideshow. However this year we wanted to avoid just having them look at the laptop screen, so we asked for a few details about the room and realized that we could get a good projector that would power on quickly, put it on a chair, and stand up for our presentation.

While it took some pretty detailed pre-planning, it ended up working extremely well and the picture was fine on the wall in the room; it definitely helped to make our job easier. If you can do this, it's effective for displaying a powerpoint slideshow, and in my opinion, a well thought out powerpoint is one of the best ways to present.
