The capstone presentation highlights your application as the culmination of your work at Ada.
It will be 5 minutes or less in length.
Ada will schedule your capstone presentation. You will find details of this schedule closer to capstone presentations.
C13: Look for a capstone presentation announcement.
The presentation should have the following components:
- What problem does the app solve? Who does it solve it for?
- What are 1-2 things you learned?
- You can focus on what you learned about programming as an art/craft/profession, not necessarily what specific technologies you learned to build the app.
- Example: "I learned that the best way for me to learn is to try a tutorial out and break everything as I go!"
- What are 1-2 major features of the application, demoed from the eyes of a user?
- Optional: Exciting or interesting technologies you used
- Optional: Future enhancements
For your presentation,
- You may have slides, or no slides
- When demoing your app, you may either do a live-demo, or a silent video recording while you voice-over it
To prepare for the presentation, individually you should do the following:
- Dry run at least twice prior to the demo, in front of someone else
- Know the sequence of events that you will execute to show the features you want to demo
- Prepare slides for any non-app talking points
- Have a conversation about any equipment needs
- If you have a special equipment need that requires more than plugging in your device, confirm with an instructor about the setup. Projects that have more involved setups may be encouraged to not perform a live demo, but to record a video instead
