I. AI and Music Project Showcase
AI & Music Project Showcase 🎶🤖
Goal: Present your AI and music project to your peers, sharing your creative process, what you discovered, and your final creation.
What You’ll Do:
Prepare Your Presentation:
- Decide what to show: Will you do a live demo? Show a video of your project in action? Play an audio track you created?
- Outline your talk:
- Introduction: What was your project idea? What got you interested in it?
- Process: What AI tools or concepts did you use? What music elements did you focus on? What were some challenges you faced, and how did you overcome them?
- Your Creation: Share your music piece, your AI tool, or your discovery! Explain how the AI and music parts work together.
- What You Learned: What was the most interesting thing you learned? What surprised you?
- Future Ideas (Optional): If you had more time, what else would you do with this project?
Practice (A Little!):
- Run through your presentation once or twice. This helps you feel more confident.
- Time yourself to make sure you fit within the allotted time (your facilitator will let you know how long each presentation should be).
Present Your Project:
- When it’s your turn, share your screen if needed, play your music, and tell us about your project.
- Speak clearly and show your enthusiasm!
- Be ready to answer a question or two from your peers.
Be a Great Audience:
- Listen attentively to your classmates’ presentations.
- Be supportive and encouraging. Think of one positive comment or a thoughtful question for each presenter.
Presentation Tips:
- Keep it Clear & Concise: Focus on the most exciting parts of your project.
- Show, Don’t Just Tell: Whenever possible, demonstrate your project.
- Explain Your “Why”: Why did you choose this project? What were you hoping to achieve?
- It’s Okay if it’s Not “Perfect”: Learning and exploration are the main goals. Share what you discovered, even if things didn’t go exactly as planned. That’s part of STEM!
- Have Fun! Your passion for your project will be contagious.
Materials You Might Need:
- Your computer/device with your project files
- Any AI software or websites you used
- Headphones (if you’re playing audio and others are nearby)
- A way to play your music (e.g., speakers, or through your computer)
- Optional: A few simple slides (if you like, but not required!)
Why This Matters:
Sharing your work is a big part of how scientists, engineers, artists, and creators in many fields communicate their ideas and discoveries. This showcase helps you practice:
- Communication: Explaining complex ideas clearly.
- Critical Thinking: Reflecting on your learning process.
- Confidence: Presenting your accomplishments.
- Collaboration: Learning from and supporting your peers.
You’re not just presenting a project; you’re sharing a piece of your STEM journey! ✨
