If you’re not very far along in your project yet, don’t panic! The presentation is about explaining your ideas clearly and concisely, and is only 5 minutes long. If you don’t yet have results to show, simply explaining what you’re planning to do and why is 100% OK.

1. Motivate and define the problem: 20%
   • What new thing will we be able to or understand do if you succeed?
