      • Generally use bullets/figures/pictures, instead of long sentences--think what a judge would want to see/know. I suggest:
      • a. Goal and Motivation: Why is your project interesting/useful/important potentially for a large group of people (not just you)? What are the "pains"/problems that your system is designed to help solve?
      • b. Approach/Features: With your system, what can the users do (ie. accomplished key features/functionalities)? Bullets with screenshots/pictures/plots/...
      • c. Design/Implementation: How did you accomplish your system? System architecture, algorithms, tools, ...
      • d. Evaluation Results: How well does your system function? "measurement of success"--performance/speed/accuracy/userSurveys/...
      • e. Limitations and Improvements: What can't the system do? How can the system be improved?
