Teams set up interactive product demonstrations for judges who observe individually or in small groups, without fixed judging time limits. Demos should be easy to understand, preferably a working prototype or substantial progress, and introductions should be concise.

You may use slides for the introduction, but it is not required. Don’t spend too much time on this.  \n• Make the demo as interactive as possible. Let the judges “play” with it. The more tactile, usually the better.  \n• Be prepared for questions! Judges may ask only a few or several questions.  \n• The judges will NOT be together as a group. They will either be alone or in a small group.  \n• There are no time limits for the judges to observe/review your demo. The judging of demos from all participants must be completed in the expected timeframe.  \nRemember to be concise and speak clearly. You will be judged on your presentation skills too, so please be sure to put your best presentation skills at the forefront.  \n$10,000 is the first cash prize for each competition!  \nWHAT’S EXPECTED FROM THE DEMO?  \nYour demo should be easy to understand and quickly show how your product works.  \nIdeally, your demo should be a complete and functioning prototype, or at minimum, should demonstrate significant progress towards a functioning prototype.  \nIf you’ve recently pivoted or had a significant design change, that’s okay. Just be clear about that.  \nIf you feel that you cannot make at least significant progress by Demo Day, it’s okay to scale down your idea/product to offer fewer features, and then maybe include ways to build upon your product in the presentation.  \nThe demo does not have to be polished, but it should give the judges a good idea of how your product works.  \nHOW WILL WE BE SCORED?  \nHere is how you will be scored:  \n\n|  | Scored From | Percentage |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Idea | Final & Product Business Case | 20% |\n| Design | Final & Product Business Case | 30% |\n| Demo | Demo Day | 40% |\n| Presentation | Demo Day | 10% |\n\nBREAK DOWN DETAILS  \nFinal Product Specification and Business Case  \nWeight total: 50%  \nTwo categories  \n(1 . ) Product Idea Criteria – 20%:  \na.

Is there a high-level product architecture including key components and a block diagram?  \nb. Have all major modules been described in sufficient detail?  \nc. What are the functional/non-functional requirements?  \nd. Is the user interface provided and is it well described?  \ne.
