Re: Chairman's Interview

Focus on issues that you weren't able to fully explain (or include at all) in your award submission, as well as reinforce critical issues. Read over the award criteria, and make sure you have each section covered. Have some form of presentation, whether it's a powerpoint, poster, display, scrapbook, or something else. If you have any particularly special/unique effort, try and bring a physical representation of it (ie, do something cool with vex and outreach? bring a vex bot).
Be prepared to answer questions about all the judging criteria, particularly ones you didn't focus on in other aspects of your report and/or presentation. Be prepared to answer questions about your business plan (if you had one), even though it is not explicitly stated that this is part of the award. If you don't have a business plan, be prepared to answer questions about the future direction of your team, and future goals.
Some judges really care about the 5 minutes, some don't. Plan to be right around their anyway, but if they don't care, feel free to add a little more elaboration on key issues and fully answer every aspect of their questions.
