Presentation ideas

So, what sorts of things should you be presenting? The short answer is basically 'whatever you'd like to talk about' since the presentation opportunities are meant to give you a comfortable space to explore and discuss ideas with your classmates. Below is a list of some more actionable advice for your consideration as well.

• A full solution. Walk us through a full solution to a problem. This could be a problem that you found easy or one that was more challenging. Showcase your hard work and include any helpful tips you picked up along the way.

• A partial solution. Show us what you tried and the progress you were able to make. Then, let us know where you're stuck—after a bit of discussion, we may be able to give you some ideas to try. If you'd like, structure your presentation around the general problem solving process to help the audience hone in on how best to help.

• A question. If you couldn't even get started on a problem or if there's a concept that feels totally otherworldly to you, feel free to present a question. Check out the question asking guide for some tips on asking effective questions.

• An explanation. Not every presentation has to be about a problem or question. Pick a concept you'd like to understand better and give us an explanation using the Feynman Technique—or just share a useful trick, technique, or analogy you've invented.
