Oral Presentation
General Guidelines

An oral presentation (maximum of 30 minutes) will be required of each team per project. Points will be deducted for exceeding the time limit. An additional 10-minute period will be allowed for judges' questions. The time required to move onto the stage, to set-up and break-down displays and audio-visual equipment should not exceed five additional minutes for each presentation.
    Prior to the oral presentation, the team captain should identify the presentation team members to the judges.
    Audio-visual equipment such as slide projectors, overheads, etc., are allowed. PowerPoint presentation projectors will be provided by WERC-NSF. WERC-NSF will not provide the computers.  WERC-NSF highly recommends that you provide your own PowerPoint projector as the connection cords are not always compatible.
    The judges' questions may only be answered by the student presentation team members.
