Presentation Details

In the final project presentations, each team will have 12 minutes to present their final project, plus 2 additional minutes of question and answer from the audience. If your presentation exceeds 12 minutes, you will unfortunately be cut off, and lose points for whatever required content you are not able to cover in time. So please, rehearse your presentation beforehand, and decide carefully what is worth spending time on and what is not.

Presentation Content

You must cover all three of these items:

  1. (Required) Demonstrate your final product.
  2. (Required) Explain your implementation at a high level.
  3. (Required) Overview of testing. Show unit tests or human tests at the very least.

Then choose one or two of the following things to include in your presentation:

  • Describe one or two major design decisions.
  • Key obstacles and how you overcame them
  • Show diagrams of your added code
  • Anything else you think is important for us to know about the project.

We also highly encourage you to have some interactive component in the presentation to keep the audience engaged or use other strategies to keep the audience engaged. This could involve asking questions to the audience or having a small activity for the audience to complete such as a mini-quiz for us to do, etc. You could even pretend that you are doing a marketing pitch for your feature (while still covering the required componentsabove). Please be creative with this, and keep in mind that keeping your audience engaged is a crucial part of any presentation!
