We always organize the dry run presentations for the eClub competition. The purpose is to give a chance to the teams to test and communicate their idea to the audience. This time we have attracted eight new teams. You can read below the short annotations or thanks to Vojta and his Meta TV watch the presentations. Lucie promised to watch them too to help improving and pointing out the major presentation problems. She will join us next Wednesday. Join us too to find out how to give a great presentation.
Plans and awards.
The best news is: new teams are emerging. Overall the quality of presentations is improving. Students are discovering the problems and advantages of trying to convert their ideas for useful products. The final presentations are scheduled for May 9.Currently, I am busy trying to attract potential local and overseas jury members and mentors. The list of jury members has to be complete and announced well before the final presentations.
Even more challenging is raising money to fund the winners. I am discussing with major Czech companies to make donation to the MediaLab Foundation - our source of funding. Keep the fingers crossed. The more money we will leverage the more teams will be funded during the summer. Even if you have not participate in the dry run, you can still sing up for the final presentations. Try to get the summer scholarship. Summer is the best time to convert your dreams to something useful, our mentors will help you.
Check our web pages, I have managed to update the whole eClub site. All the presentation videos are on line. I have made some small changes in the program. Join us!
