Live Demonstration

Your team will participate in an interactive demonstration session where you will present your final project to multiple groups of classmates. The session will follow a rotation format, with each team hosting their station while other students move between presentations in 10-minute intervals.

Logistics​

  • Time per rotation: 10 minutes (5 minutes presentation + 5 minutes interaction).
  • Format: Station-based demonstrations using your laptop.
  • Audience: 6-7 different groups will visit your station.

Preparation​

Technical Setup​

  • Ensure your laptop is fully charged and bring your charger.
  • Test all features of your project thoroughly.
  • Prepare a backup plan (e.g., screenshots, video recording) in case of technical issues.
  • Have all necessary software installed and running properly.

Demonstration Script​

Create a concise 5-minute presentation that includes:

  • Project overview.
  • Key features and functionality.
  • Technical highlights or innovative solutions.
  • Implementation challenges and solutions.
  • Future improvements or extensions.

Interactive Component​

Prepare for the 5-minute interaction period:

  • Design 2-3 hands-on activities for visitors to try.
  • Create a clear set of instructions for each interactive element.
  • Prepare sample data or test scenarios that showcase different aspects of your project.
  • Consider potential questions and prepare concise answers.

Submission​

Create a 5-10 minute video demonstrating your system and submit it to Canvas
