6. Your Assignment
Create a set of PowerPoint slide titles for your team’s Design Review
This is an individual assignment
Blend these to prepare for team’s design review coming up on 10,11 Oct
Focus on the purpose for the slide and the message to be delivered, not the name of the slide
I.e. not “Conclusion”, but rather “Preliminary design of Lego torpedo is proceeding on schedule”
See provided resources, and use them!
