Poster Presentation
Poster Presentation
Many competitions require their participants to present their project only in booth, using the poster and displayed product/ prototype. Booth presentation will be less formal compared to a closed judging session that uses presentation slide. However, you must explain all the important aspects of your project interactively while showing the judges your poster or product/ prototype.
These are the contents you must cover in the poster presentation.
Introduction
Background
Method
Result
Conclusion
Closure with punchline
Poster presentation skill includes:
loud enough voice
good expression (smiling, happy, confident)
maintain eye contact, avoid reading from the poster,
efficient gesture and body movement,
task distribution between presenters
