  12. Technovation Challenge To win a competition you must know what you are being judged on!

  13. Judging Criteria Find a copy of the judging criteria in your Technovation Workspace on Google Docs

  14. Judging Criteria • Is the problem being solved clearly articulated? • Does the team understand the customer and/or end user? • How well thought out is the solution? • Does the team understand the market size and opportunity? • If there competition, is the solution differentiated? • If so, how?

  15. Judging Criteria • Does the solution leverage the capabilities of mobile technology? • Is there vision for extending the capabilities of the app beyond the prototype?

  16. Judging Criteria • Does the prototype reflect the product vision? • Does the prototype have functionality? • Does the Deck convey the message? • Is the Pitch clear and concise?

  17. The Deck • Know your audience • Simple design • One idea per slide • Use of images to support ideas – don’t use a lot of text • Be organized – beginning, middle, end

  18. Assemble a Draft Presentation ACTIVITY

  19. Create a Draft Presentation Version control is important in everything you do • Name your presentation file TEAMNAMEv1 • After any major update or change add +1 so v2, v3 etc. • Do not just delete or discard the versions of your presentations • Start with a white presentation and black lettering • Use pre-set fonts and be pre-set point size etc. • You will customize by adding graphics etc. once you have the information firmed up

  20. Create a Draft Presentation • Do not get caught up in anything up in anything BUT the information for first version • Themes, images, colors etc will come after the information is set...this is so you don’t waste time perfecting something that is not relevant.

  21. The Deck • Title • The problem • The solution • Competition • Market • Value • Future plans

  22. Mentor Career Exploration • Gather with your partner group in front of the table with your mentor. • Hear about the mentors’careers • Every 10 minutesswitch tables
