Tips and Lessons Learned
Go Low-Tech
Use effectively. Put yourselves in the judge’s shoes.
Ex: hard for judges to 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.
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.
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. Divide tasks based on strengths and weaknesses, but always remember you are working as a TEAM towards a common goal.
Resources
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The Step Up coordinators are here to guide you. No question is too small or too big. We will do our best to help.
