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
