  14. Tips and Lessons Learned

  15. Go Low-Tech • Use effectively. • Put yourselves in the judge’s shoes. Ex, judges can not hear videos. • Connect with the judges and communicate your purpose, method, and outcomes verbally. Do not rely on technology, handouts, and displays to do that job for you. • Keep the authenticity in your display.

  16. Ask for Help • Use a trusted adult or two to bounce ideas off of as needed throughout the process. • If you need an advisor, let us know. • Ask for other connections.

  17. Lessons Learned “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” ― Thomas A. Edison • Don’t get discouraged by setbacks in your project. Many of the most successful people in the world had many setbacks before their success. • Use a team approach. Two, or three, or four heads are usually much better than one. Divide tasks based on strengths and weaknesses, but always remember you are working as a TEAM towards a common goal.
