Identify FIVE specific things in your slides that you could have done differently. 

  1. Emphasize on air pollution impacts on cognitive ability
  2. Better describe the quasi-experimental study
  3. Bring together all of the aspects of our project 
  4. Explain where the air monitors can be placed/used and who they target
  5. Ways to promote our products and reach to our target customer

 

Identify FIVE specific ways in which you could have delivered your presentation better. 

  1. Used more strategic pauses
  2. Emphasized on the statistics
  3. Showcasing our prototypes
  4. Kept the themes of the slides more consistent
  5. Used more graphics and pictures

 

Identify FIVE specific ways you could have built your credibility further. 

  1. Said why we are passionate about this project
  2. Tie in our personal goals for this project
  3. Referenced professionals in the field
  4. Referenced more studies and statistics
  5. Talked more about what the previous team members did

 

Identify FIVE specific questions that you could have answered better. What was the question, how did you respond, how should you have responded? 

  1. We were asked where the air monitors were going to be placed, responded by saying low income houses, should’ve said that they are portable and can find amount of PM from anywhere
  2. Asked who the quasi-experimental study was going to study, responded with college students, should’ve also added that we are going to study students in different income areas in the future
  3. One of the questions asked where exactly in the room will the air monitors be placed because depending on where you put it will give you a different measurement of PM. We should have answered that air monitors should be placed in a central location where air can circulate freely. But not next to any windows, fireplace, or cooking appliances so that it won’t alter the accuracy of the air quality in the room
  4. The judges also asked how is our product getting advertised to be purchased in the market? We talked about social media but also spreading our products through the school system. With the success of our quasi-experiment we can get schools to encourage people to buy our air monitors/filters that are efficient and cheaper than other air monitors. 
  5. Judge asked why we are repeating the experiment if there is already a proven relationship between air pollution and cognitive performance. We answered we are conducting this experiment in Almaty specific context because might help people to realize the seriousness of the issue as it makes the issue personal.
