2008 Instructions for High School Enterprise Teams
Registration begins: February 1
Registration ends: February 22

High School Enterprise Teams will be judged in the categories of poster and presentation.

Project Description

All teams are required to submit a 150 word maximum overview of their project/presentation for use in the program booklet. Insert text in the abstract section of the registration form.

Poster Information

The poster is a hybrid between a research paper and an oral presentation. The most important differences between a research paper and a poster are:

  • A poster is more concise since the author is present to explain and elaborate. You should typically have a single page for each section of your poster.
  • There is more emphasis on visual display, graphics, etc.
  • You can use photographs in addition to other illustrations.

Poster Criteria

  • Students are responsible for providing their own poster.
  • Posters should be free standing.
  • Teams will be provided with up to two 3' X6' tables on which to display relevant materials.
  • Posters should include the following information.
    • Title
    • Team’s Name
    • Overview
    • Introduction
    • Business Objectives
    • Project Results (should be presented using graphs, tables, figures, photographs, and a minimum of text)
    • Conclusions
    • Acknowledgments

Helpful Hints

  1. All display materials and items (graphs, pictures, etc.) should be attached to the display board. Limited table space will be available for display materials.
  2. Posters should be readable from a distance of 4 feet.
  3. The poster should be balanced and organized in a logical, sequential order.
  4. Keep the amount of text to a minimum. Emphasize graphics--tables, charts, graphs, and photos.
  5. Use white space to make the reading easier.

Presentation Guidelines

  1. Each presentation is limited to 15 minutes.
  2. There will be a 3 minutes question and answer period in which the judges will ask questions of the presenter(s). This 3 minutes period is not part of the 15 minutes presentation period.
  3. Enterprise Teams may utilize PowerPoint presentations, slides, transparencies, overhead projectors, etc. to make their presentations.
  4. For those teams who will be making a group presentation, the number of presenters is not limited. However, it is highly encouraged that 2 to 3 people make the presentation.
