💡How to present your project?💡

📌 Speak slowly and clearly

📌 Do a few practice takes, pace yourself and avoid filler sounds like "uhm"

📌 Avoid echo-ey sound — a good microphone can help, or try a different room with better acoustics, maybe even a closet

📌 Keep introductions and project summary to be less than 20 seconds — don't spend too much time on backstory

📌 Crop out any needless waiting time e.g., Metamask TX confirmations

📌 If you need to fill out a form or switch between views, keep them ready in multiple tabs

📌 Use slides to summarise key information

📌 Make sure to use max. 4 bullet points per slide
