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 user?
- Problem statement
- Problem requirements (can include those you considered, and final requirements)
Detailed description of your solution:
- A compound biological analogy of 2 or more elements
- Description of the mechanism and function of this solution
- Feedback from at least one other team or the teacher
- Alignment with design solution requirements
- Changes made as a result of information from prototyping and testing
- Pictures of your prototypes
- Final solution with components labeled
- Listing of the function each component serves
- Testing data
Describe how this solution meets the clients needs:
- Refer back to the user’s 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.
