TIPS FOR A GOOD PROJECT DEFENSE: CONVEYING A GOOD PRESENTATIONEtieneIma123
In the scholastic world, it is a routine that having studied for a while, students are asked to do project research, cause discoveries, and to pick a project topic and develop a quality substance for such a project topic. Most of the time, final year project topics are chosen from a pool of accessible ones by students and endorsed by their supervisors before they initiate to take a shot at it.

Speaker GuideYou’ve been selected to give a TEDx Talk. Cong.docxAASTHA76
Speaker Guide
You’ve been selected to give a TEDx Talk. Congrats! You’re doing great so far. Now what?
Over the years we’ve come up with a few dos and don’ts on how to give a great talk.
Though these steps are in no way comprehensive, they contain some guiding principles
that have been known to work.
Step 1: Get familiar with the form »
Step 2: Develop an idea »
Step 3: Make an outline and script »
Step 4: Create slides »
Step 5: Rehearse »
Step 6: Give your talk »
Step 7: Savor the glory »
1) Get familiar with the form
What is a TEDx Talk?
TEDx Talks are a showcase for speakers presenting well-formed ideas in under 18
minutes. If you haven’t seen a TEDx Talk, go to TED.com and watch at least one. Like this
one: Phil Plait: How to defend Earth from asteroids
Why 18 minutes?
Because it works. An audience is good at focusing on one subject at a time in relatively
short chunks.
But, really, can I go over 18 minutes?
No -- it wouldn't be a TEDx Talk. The time limit is part of what makes TEDx Talks work.
And remember: Shorter talks are not lesser talks. It may only take 5 minutes to make your
point unforgettably. Like this one: Joe Smith: How to use a paper towel
2) Develop an idea
What makes a good idea for a talk?
Like a good magazine article, your idea can be new or surprising, or challenge a belief your
audience already has. Or it can be a great basic idea with a compelling new argument
behind it.
An idea isn’t just a story or a list of facts. A good idea takes evidence or observations and
draws a larger conclusion.
Do I need to be an expert on my topic?
You do not need to be the world’s foremost expert on the topic, but you do have to be an
expert. Please remember that the audience relies on you to give accurate information, so
whatever you say in your talk, please fact-check — especially facts you may take for
granted: statistics, historical anecdotes, scientific stats. If you're drawing an example from
a discipline that is not your main area of knowledge, use research from widely accepted
and peer-reviewed sources, and, if at all possible, consult with experts directly.
Is my idea ready?

http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_smith_how_to_use_a_paper_towel.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_smith_how_to_use_a_paper_towel.html
Write your idea down in one or two sentences. Ask yourself three questions:
Is my idea new?
Are you telling people something you're pretty sure they have not heard before?
Is it interesting?
Think about how your idea might apply to a room full of varied kinds of people. Who might
be interested in it?
Is it factual and realistic?
If you are presenting new research, make sure your idea is backed by data and peer-
reviewed. If you are presenting a call to action, make sure it can be executed by members
of your audience.
If you ans.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

1. Bid Writing Workshop – Lyndsey Michaels
1. Understanding what they are asking for (and where to go for
help)
2. It’s not what you say, it’s the way that you say it (what to say Vs
what not to say)
3. Use the questions to help you write the answers
– Example
1. Writing to word limits
– About word limits
– Cutting it down to size
1. Constructing a gripping intro, project name or overview
– Examples
2. 1. Understanding what they are asking for & where to go for help
- Use their guidance notes
- Ask funders for advice
3. 2. It’s not what you say, it’s the way that you say it
(what to say Vs what not to say)
- Make it as easy for the assessors as possible
- Answer every part of every question
- Make it easy to see where there’s value for money
- Address any potential issues head-on; show how you plan to
overcome them
- Be positive, direct and proud
Facts, figures and evidence
+
Passion, commitment and determination
4. 3. Use the questions to help you write the answers
- Identify all distinct topics within a question (and any related
guidance notes)
- Use these as ‘headers’ to structure your answer
- Make a note of anything and everything related to those topics
- Whittle that information down to ‘crucial information’ and
‘useful, associated but not totally vital information’
- Start with the ‘crucial’ info; if you have space left, then add the
‘useful’ info
5. 3. Use the questions to help you write the answers
Example
- Project description
- Overall Aims
- Objectives/Results through this
funding
- Timescale(s)

- Costs
- Objectives/Timescales per event
- Activities
- What
- When
- Where
- Costs

6. 4. Writing to Word Limits – About word limits
- Word limits are a good thing (honestly)
- They are necessary for both efficiency and brevity
- They give you an idea of how much detail they want
- Word limits are a rule, not a guideline!
- Find a balance:
- Stating your intentions is not enough – don’t be too brief
- It’s equally important to know when to stop
The assessor needs to be able to see the wood from the trees…
but it still needs to be a tree, not a twig.
8. 5. Constructing a gripping intro, project name or overview
Do it last
-Don’t get hung up on it at the start
-Use the info from your bid for ideas
Who, What, How, Why, Where, When
-Use three or four of these, all if you have the space
-Generally always use a ‘what’
Buy a thesaurus
-Cut out characters or words by swapping them with similar words
-Find more exciting words
Test your intro on a clueless person
-Ask a friend, relative, your local greengrocer – anyone – if they ‘get’
what the group does from your intro
-Or, ask them to read your intro, then tell you what they think your
group does
