Preparation for the STEM Project Showcase 2016

Hi All,

In coming Tuesday's class and after school (06/07) we are going to have our final rehearsal. Each group should be well prepared to deliver your presentation. YOU HAVE TO SEND ME YOUR PRESENTATION BY SUNDAY NIGHT FOR INITIAL REVIEW. MODIFY AND RESEND IT TO ME BY MONDAY NIGHT FOR FINAL CONSOLIDATION. A few important guidelines are listed below for your reference.
  1. Your audience may cover a wide spectrum including administration, teachers, college professors, parents, friends, STEM students of next year, and students with general interests in STEM. Be prepared to address their needs.
  2. The show should be focusing on the demonstration of your results/solutions to the problems you want to solve. However, you should also concisely explain the methods you adopted to attack the problems. You should also prepare to answer questions about any aspect of your project. Questions can be general or very technical.
  3. You should not be afraid to touch in depth of your technical know-how, but, at the same time, present them in a easy-accessible ways.
  4. The presentation should be balanced between descriptions and demonstrations. Remember, it's not a class; it's a show! Physical demos, live illustrations, videos, or even interactions with audience are powerful way to convey the messages. Creative demonstration is very important for communication.
  5. Even though it's a show, it's a tech show, you only say what you know. Every thing you present should be technically sound.
  6. If you have not achieved your final goals, you can still present/demonstrate your results/solutions of different stages of the project.
  7. Every group member's role and timing should be well planned and rehearsed.
  8. Dress code in the show should be at least business casual. Prepare for it.
 Good luck!

Mr. Lin
