What is your team doing for your presentation.

[Greg Needel]

i would say that you want to show examples of the things talked about in the 4 pages

[Lil' Lavery]

we are gonna give examples of the 4 pages, plus cover stuff that we didnt have room to put in the report. We are also probably going to incorporate a short video.

We are going to have a video or two, some posterboards, and our enthusiastic voices. Also add some stuff that wasn;'t in the submitted form. Can't wait!

Did it seem that posterboards have been effective in the past?

At the NYC Regional last year storyboards (or poster boards) were very affective in conveying information to the judges that visited the pit. Judges visiting the Pit are interviewing each team to find out as much about the team as possible. These interviews and actions by "ALL" members of the teams are brought back to the judges deliberation room for discuss. (so watch what you say and do).

(I remember one incident with a team out side a hallway; as a judge was walking by, he over heard a comment a team member was making about another team. The judge took down his team number and may have caused the team an award)

At the Chairman’s Award interview it is up to the team to decide how they want to present themselves. There is no set rules on what works and what doesn’t.
I personally believe the one-on-one conversation with the Chairman’s judges tense to motivate and impress the judges more than powerpoints.
Good luck to all CA teams.

We have a fancy scrapbook that covers everything we do. We used it last year. It especially look nice to judges. We also took the posterboards which shows all of our sponsors for that year. We had four of them last year (four sections: platinum, gold, silver, panther paw). They were impressed by the shear number of support we get in our town. We had like 60-70 businesses. They thought I was done after two boards.
