person to another.

Smile at the audience and look relaxed. (Do not say we are so nervous because that makes
your audience nervous.)
Have a captain for the Q and A session who willhandle the distribution of questions. It is okay
to actually call on someone for each question. Get everyone involved in answering questions.
Answer without slang (yes not yeah)
Do not answer questions that were not asked. Ifyour teammate has adequately answered, dontfeel compelled to add one more thing unless it
improves the original answer. Maintain Eye Contact
No Eye Contact

Use visuals such as your model or parts of yourmodel.
It is okay to go in front of the judges and have showand tell as long as you can stay within the timeframe of the total presentation. This may require
moving a desk to get to them. Do this in the set-uptime.
Do not cross in front of each other or the projectorwhile talking. Use a wireless mouse to prevent this.
Use an electronic pointer if you are going to pointthings out on your slides.
