Capstone Presentation Assets



Identify props and other assets needed for the Capstone Presentation.

You will have the infographic poster, website, PSA and… What other props or visuals have you decided on?  Are you going to do a backdrop or trifold, handout, mini-handout, Smart Phone App, 3D model on your website and/or a physical model?

What other visual aids can be incorporated into your space to enhance your presentation and make you stand out from all the other presenters? What can catch people’s attention so they will want to stop and see what you are talking about?
