2023 Final Presentations - Day 1

On Monday, April 17th, we started our annual "final presentations" and thus the last working phase before the Nationals. The purpose of the finals is to present all projects and their status once again in detail in order to receive tips and suggestions for improvement from the other members of the chapter as well as alumni and sponsors and to keep them in mind when finishing the projects. Nils, Arthur and Erik opened with the presentation of Webmaster. One of our largest - and very successful - projects, where the task is to create a new website for our chapter each year. This time they incorporated all of the information in a clever and aesthetic forest design and presented the content, as well as special features of the website. Another aspect of Webmaster is creating a design brief. This year, the website had to be about a fictional company involved in space tourism. Lara W. then introduced the Audio Podcasting project. The task this year was to present and evaluate a product that high-school aged students could use. She explained the working process and introduced the portable blender that the podcast is about before playing it for everyone. Keanu and Lara S. then presented the Video Game Design project, which this year focused on Puzzle & Party Games. They showed their point-and-click adventure game, in which tasks must be solved to assemble a bubble machine over several levels. Next, Lara W. showcased the Photographic Technology project. She presented her 5 pictures, which all revolved around the 4 elements according to the assignment and explained how she implemented the specifications of a macro-, a black and white- and a still life picture. Finally Konstantin presented the project Music Production and therefore also played the self-composed song of the group. The song convinced with its great arc of tension as well as the creative use of vocals, instruments and effects. Thus the task of developing an energizing song was fulfilled. After this first successful and versatile day, we are looking forward to the next two days and wish all presenters good luck.
