Presentation Video
If you are looking for inspiration or just direction then it might be wise to study the best "message deliverers" of all time. The presentation above has some "good stuff!" Furthermore, it reinforces many of the ideas contained in this site.
This year's science fair will take place both asynchronously and synchronously. The asynchronous aspect of the fair will be highlighted by your presentation video. Your presentation video should be a 3-minute maximum length video that highlights your project. This video should give judges a feel for the work you did and and what you accomplished. Furthermore, this video should give the judge context as they score your display board and help them prepare for the synchronous interviews later on in the fair.
All participants should use the methods outlined in the video above to make a presentation video using the PowerPoint of the science display board they created
Step 1 - Preview the assignment

Message - Consider a personal story, an insightful observation and/or an amazing statistic tp really "hook" your audience.
Have a hook to get attention!
Practice - More polished presentations will likely score better. As you practice your script, make sure to time your efforts. The final video presentation should be no more than 3 minutes.
