MA govt. presentation: Initial thoughts

Posted by Eric on February 19, 2017

Guiding mantra

  • Know your audience, and have a purpose. Purposeless presentations are stupid

  • Say a few things, and say them well

  • Make your points indirectly at least once, use the venue of a project presentation as an excuse

  • Get advice from people

    • Nathan and Emily

    • Mark

    • MarCom

Our audience

State legislators in the education space

Haven’t seen or experienced Olin before

Usually don’t see passionate and excited students?

Potential themes to communicate

  • Failure is really OK.

    • We failed

    • All Olin projects fail

    • Would rather fail than under-scope

  • Student choice is important

  • Being able to find tools » having tools

    • Alternate: non-traditional tools are useful
  • Olin is awesome! Get Hyped!
