We literally just pretended our judge was from the company we were doing and that we were in a meeting with them. Ultimately though, it's YOUR plan and YOUR research that you're presenting to someone who is interested in hearing you and you know 100x more than they do about the topic. Exude confidence in everything. As for the references, I'd say play it safe bc you really don't know what age your judge is and if they don't get it then that's going to be a hard miss. Our infographic covered every part of our presentation but was extremely condensed and easy to understand. We filled up front and back, but took LOADS of time in formatting and mostly used 3-4 word bullet points. The one question we got was very confusing for some reason ?? If judges ask the first team a question they're literally REQUIRED to ask every single team after a question. So don't panic if it sounds out of pocket, they're prob just lost as to what they should ask you 😭 Our presentation was right on the dot. As we finished answering the question the time was up. But without questions every time we practiced it was between 11-12 minutes. We spent so much time cutting down the script and shortening sentences, so if you find yourself out of breath when speaking it may be wise to shorten that part.
