Demo-ing Your Prototypes During the Breaks
There will be two tables at the back of the auditorium where we'd like teams to show their prototypes and answer additional questions during the break after their presentation. Your whole team doesn't need to be there at the same time (you can take turns so that you all get to snack and take a break).
Remember that you set the terms of this interaction - if your prototype is fragile, feel free to keep it in your control and demo it for the guests. We'd like the prototypes to be in good shape at the end of the day.
There will be a schedule posted on the tables themselves but as a head's up:
Break 1: 11AM
Table A
Steam-EZ and NiceWipe
Table B
TupSaver and Nice Rack
Lunch: 12:40PM
Table A
StarQ and Pharmakeet
Table B
Supercharged Neat Freaks and AvaTech
Break 2: 2:50PM
Table A
Fantastic Faces and Chairriott
Table B
Keploc and Foggy Goggles
End: 4:10PM
Table A
MotoCyclone
Table B
TwistIt and Scrape Tape
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Alison
