Students will have 1 class period to prepare their “Pitch” presentation. Because they have detailed notes, images, and a physical prototype in their EDPL, they should be able to complete a digital presentation in 1 class period. Alternatively, students may do poster presentations, which may require additional time and supplies.

Teacher Note: The presentation can be in different forms, one non-tech and one high-tech. If you prefer to have a high tech, you can create virtual presentations using PowerPoint slides and if you prefer going low-tech you can create posters. [If you have time, allow students to have conversations and make their decisions.]

Today, you will work with your group to prepare a “Pitch” presentation. This is your chance to communicate your solution to your client and convince them that it solves the problem. Your presentation will be 2- 3 min long with 2 min to answer questions.

Your Pitch Presentation should include the following:

Explain the problem:

• Who is the client?
• Problem statement
• Problem requirements (can include those you considered, and final requirements)

Detailed description of your solution:

• Describe the mechanism and function of this solution.
• Pictures of your prototypes
• Final solution with components labeled
• List the function each component serves
• Share prototype testing sensor data

Describe how this solution meets the clients needs:

• Refer back to clients’ needs and the problem requirements.
• Explain how this solution addresses the problem.
• Explain how this solution is better than existing solutions.
• Leave them with a final thought you want them to remember about your solution.

Teacher Note: The students will work on creating their presentation. Teachers circulate around and help students as needed.
