When preparing your slides… Make sure you use large fonts that are easily readable… Do not clutter your slides with a lot of text… Include slide numbers at the bottom of your slides… Include your team number and project name at the bottom of your slides… Bring a laptop with you and your slides and demo on a memory stick as a backup…
