Today is the culmination of your entire BIH Tech Club journey! Today, you are not just students sitting at desks; you are innovators, presenters, and solution builders taking the stage to showcase your digital creation to your teachers, mentors, classmates, and community guests.
1. The 3-Minute Showcase Pitch Formula
In tech innovation hubs around the world, entrepreneurs pitch multi-million cedi ideas in just three minutes. You have exactly 180 seconds on stage. Divide your pitch into three tight acts:
Figure 22.0: The 3-Minute Showcase Pitch Arc, followed by 1 minute of audience Q&A. Keep strictly to time so every team has their moment on stage!
2. Showcase Vocabulary
Demo Day: An official showcase exhibition where technology students demonstrate working prototypes.
The Pitch: A short, persuasive spoken presentation explaining why your project matters and how it works.
Live Demonstration: Operating your digital file on the big projector screen in real time before the audience.
Call to Action: The final inspiring statement asking people to change a habit, support the project, or adopt the tool.
Stage Choreography & Readiness
Session 22 • Page 2
1. Team Stage Choreography: Everyone Has a Voice!
In a strong team, one person does not hog the microphone while the others stand like statues. Divide speaking duties so every single member shines on stage:
Figure 22.1: Stage Choreography. One teammate speaks, one drives the laptop, and one explains the learning journey.
2. Pre-Flight Technical Checklist (Before Walking on Stage)
💻 Laptop & File Setup
File opened from Final_Showcase folder.
Unnecessary browser tabs and apps closed.
Sound volume set to 75% for Scratch sounds.
🎤 Presentation Readiness
All team members know their speaking order.
Eye contact practiced (look at audience rows).
Smiling and standing tall!
3. Panic Button / Stage Resilience
🚨 WHAT IF THE PROJECTOR TURNS BLACK ON STAGE?
Stay calm and keep smiling! True tech leaders never freeze.
If a cable comes loose or power flickers, Speaker 1 must keep speaking from memory: describe your project with passion. If needed, Speaker 2 keeps talking while the mentor checks the cable and power. Never touch cables or plugs yourself!

1. Look How Far You Have Come!
Take a deep breath and look back at Session 1. Many students in this room had never touched a computer mouse, did not know what an operating system was, and had never typed a sentence on a keyboard. Today, you are certified digital creators!
