Oral Presentation Details
If you prefer to share your work via an oral presentation, terrific! We will have a Mac computer and projector available; if you’d like to use your own computer, you can do so. We recommend using PowerPoint, as this software offers live auto-captioning, which helps to make presentations more accessible to all participants.
