For Contestants ERIC only,

Untuk Peserta ERIC sahaja,

 

 

  1. What is the situation for the presentation?  

  2. Can we present in Bahasa Melayu?

  3. Do we need to present for crowds or just for the judges?

  4. Can we use the same functions as in the video? 

  5. Do we work in a booth for each team?

  6. Regarding the presentation, is it relevant for me to present more about the mechanical concept, or any additional features in details?

 

Here are answer to your questions, 

  1. There will be a formal presentation from participants using PowerPoint slides. We will provide LCD and projector.

  2. Actually, it is compulsory to present in English as it is the encouragement factor for students to perform at international level. I believe your students can perform well. 

  3. The presentation will be done in front of judges and other participants.

  4. You can use the same functions as in the video. But we are welcome you to use your own innovation and creativity.

  5. There will be no booth for each participant. However, we do provide a workspace for your prototype modification.

  6. Yes, you may do so, as long as you do not exceed the presentation time limit.

Good Luck in advance!
