Will we have our turbines with us during the presentation?
No, you will be giving your presentation WITHOUT your turbines (they will be in a different room). You are welcome to bring other props for the presentation.
Will there be a projector, lap top and screen to give our presentation with?
No, there will not be a projector, lap top or screen available. Presentations will be given on stage in our Creative Kids Museum. No powerpoint please. Teams only have 2.5 minutes to give their presentations and there is not time to set up electronic presentation equipment. You cannot bring additional people to set up additional gear.
