Dear Participants,

This coming Friday 5:00pm will be deadline for the submission of your works.

As announced previously, the presentation of your works will be on Monday 6 Aug 2012, 2pm at EA Foyer.
You can reach the venue at 1:30pm to do your preparation.
It will be a simple and casual presentation where you can consider putting up a poster (a A1 size display panel will be provided) with drawings or write-up, or displaying your prototype at your designated booth.
The sharing/presentation style is open to your creativity.
Judges will have a chat with you, as well as some queries to understand your works better. They might even provide suggestions on improving or commercializing your works!
Do send us your poster design ASAP, as UMI will need time to get it printed.
