Guidelines for Project Presentation

  1. All group members must participate in the presentation
  2. Each presentation should last about 5 minutes to make their presentation and 2 minutes to answer questions. Time limits will be strictly enforced to make sure all groups get the same amount of time. If you exceed 6 minutes, you will be asked to stop and be evaluated on what has been presented to that point. Practice your presentation. Remember that you can always read it faster to yourself than you can out loud and nervous. Also, have someone in your group track your time. If you are presenting alone, ask someone in another group to give you time cues.
  3. Presentations need to be in PowerPoint format and recorded on a CD-ROM or a USB key. Be sure that the file opens on any computer by trying to open it on several different machines.
  4. The audience for your presentation will be a scientific review panel from the World Health Organization. The panel will review the proposed designs and decide which efforts will receive funding to move into the development phase. Therefore, you must convince the panel of the severity of the problem as well as the efficacy of the proposed design. Your prototype does not need to actually function, but it should illustrate the scientific principles of the device as well as the ways in which it satisfies the design requirements. In constructing your prototype, we suggest that you use common household materials (plastic wrap, aluminum foil, cardboard, etc) to illustrate how the device would work. You are limited to a total materials cost of $10 and you will be asked to turn in receipts to verify that you satisfied this constraint. You should be prepared for questions from the review panel following your 10 minute presentation.
  5. You will evaluate each presentation using the attached form. Please note that you may only recommend TWO DESIGNS for further development.

Evaluation Form:

You are a member of a scientific review panel from the World Health Organization. Your job is to review the proposed designs and decide which efforts will receive funding to move into the development phase. Please evaluate each proposal using the criteria below. You may only recommend two designs to receive funding.
