Laptop or tablet
Your live demo already open, updated and tested. If the venue internet is slow, load your project so it can work offline.
Getting ready
Devices, to bring
A short checklist so every team arrives ready. The expo hall runs the whole day — power and internet are shared, so come prepared to be self-sufficient.
Every team must bring
One kit per team, labelled with your project number.
Charger for every device
Multi-plug if several devices. Batteries get drained fast during a full day of judging.
USB pen drive (backup)
A copy of your demo, video and files, in case the laptop misbehaves a minute before you present.
Mobile phone
Camera for photos and a spare screen for your web project. Keep it charged and on silent during your talk.
For live working models
Only if your project has a hardware part.
Batteries or power bank
Sensors, motors and screens all need power. A power bank is the safest single item to pack.
Your kit and tools
Breadboard, jumper wires, small screwdriver and any spare sensor you rely on.
Data / hotspot plan
Some school networks block sites. A hotspot keeps your cloud demo reachable at your slot.
Good to have
Small things that save the day.
Notebook and pen
Notes from judges, your speech cue cards, and a last-minute plan B.
Printed speech
Paper copy of your 30-second script, so a dead laptop never silences you.
Your project QR printed
Print the QR sheet from the admin panel so visitors can open your project without typing.
- Label every device with your project name and number.
