CHAIRMAN'S AWARD PRESENTATION HELP

[Salbert]

My team (MARS 1523) won the Chairman's at the FL Regional and I was part of the presentation, here's what I can tell you...

We used a Powerpoint (ours was only seven slides with tons of pictures and big text), but you need a projector and you have to set it up fast as in < 30 Seconds. We gave the judges our business plan (if you don't have one, it's too late to start one now), event documentation with news articles about us, and goody bags with our MARS alien etc., all to keep. We were energetic and were happy to be presenting. The judges mainly asked us about our business plan so if you don't one, I don't know what they'll ask you. But you only have 5 minutes to present and 5 minutes of Q & A so don't waste any time thinking or going "Ummmm..." Anything you couldn't get to in the presentation, try to bring it up in the Q & A or as we did, while we were packing stuff up to leave.

Good luck!!!
