Some Things that will help you have a successful project next year
* Create a tri-fold that describes your project. Check out sciencebuddies.org, for a great description of what you should have on your trifold.
* Prepare a small "elevator" speech that describes your project to others. Prepare different levels of the speech so that you can describe your project to different audiences - such as those who know programming and those who do not.
Check out apa.org on some good tips for making this speech.
