    Concept presentations

    Next week is our second set of presentations. Your team will present your final concepts to the rest of the class & staff, and the Miami-Dade partners during lecture on March 23.

    This is an opportunity to share information across teams, for the staff to get a sense of where you're at, and provide feedback.

    This is a team exercise.

    Format

    Each team will have 15 minutes to present. You should break your presentation up as:

    • 5 min for the concept overview
    • 10 min for disucssion with Miami-Dade team. You can ask them questions, and they can also provide feedback.

    Here's what you should show:

    • Overview of the approach
    • Industrial design for the HW node -- what does it look?
    • A wireframe of the web front-end
    • The current block diagram of the HW, FW, and SW
    • Your current specifications, including ones not yet set
    • Results of research, modeling, and prototyping that support your specifications
    • Discussion of how your impact framework has affected your design choices (where appropriate).
    • Team roles
    • A curated set of critical questions that you'd like input from the partners.

    Presentation guidelines

    • You'll present from a staff computer, so make sure your presentation is easy to find in your Google Drive folder.

    • Keep to time! We'll be strict. That means, practice practice practice in advance!

    • It's not necessary for each team member to present. Maybe do one member/concept, or something like that. Too many people transitions will slow you down.

    • Make the slides informative...and visually appealing.

    • Since the primary audience are our Miami-Dade partners, be careful with jargon!
