FEEDBACK FROM WEEK 6 + HOW TO MOVE FORWARD

Week 8 presentation - the group + 2 teachers and pitch for 6 mins

{points we could improve on taking from the slideshow}

- Talk to more people and take the idea out there
- If you have talked to 50 people share that in the pitch - let them know what 50 people thought.
- When thinking about time, production cots, equipment, postage, facility hire etc think about the groups time and how much the 'creation of the idea' as cost us?
- Who + how many people we have spoken to for feedback
- If our price of the product is high just explain why it is
- Discuss in the pitch what we need to make our product work e.g. certain equipment to produce it or we need someone to develop a website etc.
- Introduce the team members at the end of the pitch! its the most boring part.
- Strategically plan when you share the product because if its busy no one will listen! Plan it into the presentation maybe show the product and do a demonstration?
- Don't underestimate the value of awkwardness! If you are nervous and awkward it shows the teachers that you care and want to try hard! You don't need a complete script just embrace it.
- Nothing is ever finished so present what you at that point in time, present where the product is at.

Week 10 presentation - up to 8 mins.
