Presenting Your Design

The Power of Presentation

A brilliant design can be overlooked if it’s not explained well. Your presentation is your opportunity to bring others into your vision — to show what you made, why it matters, and how it works.

What to Include

• The Problem: What challenge were you solving?
• Your Process: How did you design, test, and improve?
• The Final Design: What’s your solution and how does it work?
• Next Steps: What would you change or build next?

Tell the Story

People connect with stories. Use a beginning (the challenge), a middle (your journey), and an end (your solution). If it failed, share what you learned. If it worked — show it off!

Presentation Tips

• Use visuals — diagrams, photos, or even your prototype itself
• Speak clearly and confidently
• Practice ahead of time with a partner
• Keep it simple — clarity is more powerful than complexity

Try It

Write a short 2–3 minute script that introduces your design to a classroom audience. What will you say? What will you show?
