I recently came across a guide with tips for presenting MakerMechanics projects at conferences,and it got me thinking about how different that is compared to presenting,say,academic research. The guide emphasized showcasing the tangible aspects – demos that work, highlighting the build process with photos and videos, and really emphasizing the practical applications and user experience. It felt like the focus was less on theoretical underpinnings and more on the "wow" factor and the story of how it was created.
has anyone else had experience presenting MakerMechanics projects at conferences? Did you find that traditional presentation styles needed to be adapted? I'm curious about what kind of reception attendees usually have.Are they more interested in getting hands-on or diving into technical specs? I’m especially interested in hearing about any unexpected challenges or successes you encountered when showcasing your projects in a conference setting.
