Like your website, your proposed solution presentation is a "sales pitch" (think "Shark Tank") to the audience (community of Blue Ridge County), with the goal of convincing audience members that your solution is the most feasible and cost-effective option for the specific issue. It should be straightforward and appropriate to a serious scientific presentation.
Slides should be compelling and informative, but should NOT including distracting, "flashy" backgrounds.
Every member of the group will present at least one slide each during the presentation. Your group will have 10 minutes to present, and 3 minutes for questions (if time allows).
Each slide MUST have detailed speaker notes of what the presenter is going to say included (Detailed enough that someone else could read it and present the morning of)
