[4eyes] Lab Open House / MAT End-of-Year-Show - May 19, 5-9pm

[Matthew Turk]

Some important points in preparation for the open house next Friday (along
with MAT's End of Year Show);

 

-          The hours are 5-9pm. Please show up by 4:00pm to set up.

-          Please check the MAT spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IWcRmAT5SzCsYKm7pB83kFi-wd-Gx2gGjai
fKWiUSmk/edit#gid=0>  to make sure the name and title are correct for what
you're presenting.

-          Column G shows what MAT is planning to provide; the assumption is
that you will provide anything else you need to present your project
(perhaps using equipment from the lab or of your own). You need to be 100%
sure that you'll have what you need, so if you're relying on anything not
directly under your control (a monitor, a projector, a computer, etc.)
please let us know ASAP.

-          Keep in mind that there will be possibly hundreds of people
milling around. Some will walk by and look at what you have (and keep
walking), some will stop for a few or 30 seconds, and some will engage you
in discussion for several minutes. Also, most will know little about your
area of expertise, while some might know a good deal. Bottom line, you need
to be flexible in how you communicate your work - for some, it's a very
general 30-second elevator pitch (with more details only if they ask), for
others it's a detailed technical presentation/discussion, and everything in
between. So please be sure you can adapt appropriately to the audience. Be
ready to tell people the big picture of WHAT, WHY, and HOW very succinctly,
then go into details depending on the audience.

 

More to come.

 

Thanks,

                Matthew
