Presentation Review
I think our presentation went very well. We spent a lot of time practicing as a group in the days before the presentation, and I think it really paid off. We ended up getting a 96%, which is pretty good for our final presentation. I liked that we had a working prototype, so it wasn't really embarrassing being up there. I would definitely like to work on my posture and speaking ability in front of so many people, but I cant really help it. I've tried to do a lot of things that force me to speak in front of a large crowd, but despite the experience I feel like I still freeze up every time. Despite my body position and stuttering, I think we did very well as a group together and we were able to present our invention confidently.
Decklan's Review
I was very happy with how our presentation went. We ended up getting a 96%, which is better than I had hoped for. I think we did a good job of talking loud, and getting across all of our points clearly and effectively. I do wish I was a little more lively, but public speaking isn't my strong suit and definitely something I want to work on. I also need to work on my posture- my shoulders are hunched inward (a result of 8 years of wrestling) and while I can't really help my body naturally comes to this position, it is something I intend on fixing. With concerns in content of the presentation, I have no critiques. We prepared, and presented our project in a way that I am proud of.
Cade's Review
We executed our capstone perfectly. As a group everyday in class we stayed on task and worked hard to complete what we knew we had to do to be successful, so in turn we were successful. The Butter Buddy not only was an extremely clever and original idea, but we designed it to be so effective that it was highly marketable. To seal the deal with the legitimacy of the Butter Buddy, our presentation was merely flawless as we met time requirements, impressed the judges, had no breaks in speaking, and knew the routine fully. Overall, I am wholeheartedly pleased with how our capstone ended up, and couldn't be more proud of my two partners and I for pulling this project off.
