PROJECT FAIR (40+ min.)
Write a script for your survival skill demo (this may be done digitally). It should be 2 min. or less in length. Flow:
Hook. One action, one question, or one statement that immediately grabs the visitor's attention. Start in the middle of something.
The Problem. Why does this survival skill matter? What happens to someone in the wild if they don’t know it? Make the visitor feel the stakes.
The Skill. This is the heart of the demo. Not a lecture, a hands-on experience. Walk the visitor through what they are learning or doing, step by step.
The Closer. What should they remember? What should they feel? End with something they will not forget.
Procure materials for your survival skill demo and trifold.
Print: (1) correlation matrix heatmap, (2) scatter plot chart for your positive correlation, (3) scatter plot chart for your negative correlation, (4) grouped bar chart for boys v. girls.
Each element should be about half the size of a sheet of A4.
