Sharing Your Experience

  • What you SHOW
  • What you SAY
  • What they TAKE AWAY
What they TAKE AWAY should be the ONE BIG IDEA you came up with in our activity.

WHAT YOU SHOW

What you should show:

  • Something that explains your question/problem
  • Your prototype
  • Your presentation or anything else you have

Try to make the audience curious.

Notice this slideshow as an example

Eye-catching visuals and one idea per slide.

Can you name your idea?

Can you name your idea, invention, or product? Giving it a creative name can help catch the audience's attention!

WHAT YOU SAY

(and how you say it)
In this case, it is BOTH what you say AND how you say it!

What you should say:

  • Your elevator pitch
  • Be prepared to explain what you're showing
  • Be aware of your audience
In this case, it is BOTH what you say AND how you say it!

Cheat out!

"To "Cheat Out" means that the performer readjusts his or her body with an audience in mind."

Toes should point toward who you’re talking to

Don't read to your audience

If you read to me, I won’t listen during an event like this. It will feel boring to your audience.

Smile and make eye contact.

Untitled Slide

Consider using a Feelings Wheel (such as this one https://blog.calm.com/blog/the-feelings-wheel) to dig deeper into what you want your audience to feel.

Practice

Practice with a partner or group of 3+

Practice

  • Practice your presentation with a friend or 2
  • Have them say "What I'm hearing you say is..."
  • If they haven't captured your main takeaways, make some changes.

But what if I'm nervous? What if I turn bright red when I'm speaking? What if....?

Building Confidence

  • Often, fear comes from not knowing what to say. Know your solution story inside out and upside down.

Building Confidence

  • Look above the audience's heads
  • Have a "pause" plan, like taking a sip of water
  • PRACTICE!!!
