Presentation Tips
Here are some tips for making good slides (these are personal experience and do not reflect the views or AICHE or the rules/rubrics of the competition):
- Start with something attention grabbing --> Make it clear to the audience why they should care about your particular topic, and why your contribution is novel to the field. In other words, explain the importance of an unsolved problem and explain how your work fits into solving it. Captivate your audience from the start!
- Present at a rate of about 1 slide per minute
- Make sure to have large visible fonts (including labeling graph legends and axes)
- Don't have a lot of clutter on the slides, but don't leave a lot of white space either
- Use key phrases instead of full sentences (nobody will have time to read them). And even these phrases are more like reminders for you what to say (as opposed to for the audience to read). You can always speak the words yourself. Humans can process pretty visuals a lot easier than a lot of dense boring text going by fast in front of their eyes
- Don't present many slides in one slide (there should be one take-away message or result per slide)
- Don't go crazy with animations (a lot of blinking is distracting)
- Only put something on the slide that you are comfortable being asked about. For example, if you state that a material is an anisotropic conductive film, someone might ask you what anisotropic conductivity is or how you make something anisotropically conductive. If you don't want to be asked about it, don't put it on the slide
- Follow a structure: intro/background, methods, results/discussion, conclusion/acknowledgements
- Practice in front of many different people and always time yourself. It is very frustrating for everyone (including the judges) if you finish way too early, or keep ignoring the overtime warnings

Top Student Designers Envision the ‘NEXT’ Hybrid Office
9th annual steelcase next student design competition highlights the visions of next-generation designers..
While designing for an independent, underground fashion line out of a Los Angeles art gallery that doubled as his home, Elliott Beach couldn’t have imagined a new artistic outlet would change the trajectory of his career a short while later.
“In fashion, I was designing in a vacuum,” an emotional Beach said as he reflected on his career evolution. “I was an independent designer making clothes out of my apartment. Now, I’m designing with other people in a studio. I’ve been able to grow so much more as a designer.”
Beach now stands as the winner of the 9th annual Steelcase NEXT Student Design competition. But, his first place finish wasn’t a slam dunk.
Thanks to one of the most talented crop of finalists to date, judges had the intense task of whittling a winner from the final five. Beach, competing on behalf of Maryville University in St. Louis, was joined in the top tier by Juliana Schwartz from Kansas State University, Molly Taylor from Mississippi State University, and Nevi Keser Gruskin and Morgan James, both from California State-Long Beach. Judges and organizers all agreed, the winning margin was razor thin.
“The caliber of the top five, the diversity of their submissions, the radically different concepts, the level of execution … It was the best we’ve ever seen as a group of five submissions that were all equally weighted after the first round. And it carried through to the formal presentations,” said Jerry Holmes, Steelcase Design Alliances principal and competition co-leader. “It was so challenging to get the judges to make a final decision.”
Contest co-leader and Steelcase Design Alliances Principal Denise Calehuff was impressed with the way the students were able to manage their projects while taking part in remote education. “This group of designers is just so talented, no matter what kind of learning style is coming at them, they’re going to adapt,” Calehuff said.
The Competition
Nearly 1,000 student designers from 76 interior design programs across the U.S. and Canada were charged with visualizing a new satellite office for a fictional, socially-conscious, minority-owned cosmetics start-up called ‘NEXT.’ Students were asked to conceptualize a plan that would meet the physical and technological demands of a post-pandemic hybrid workplace but also integrate the company’s core values and draw inspiration from the company’s diverse and multicultural New York City neighborhood. The made-up beauty company was founded by a woman who emigrated with her family from Korea as a child, driven to create a more sustainable and culturally-inclusive line of beauty products. The new 15,000-square foot space was to be situated on two floors where employee health and safety, and work mode flexibility were also top priorities.
The Judging
The competition is decided by a panel of seven esteemed judges from top design firms all across the country. The group spent months deliberating hundreds of designs, culminating in the top five visiting and presenting at the Steelcase Grand Rapids, Michigan campus.
After hearing the presentations, the judges had the unenviable job of choosing a winner. Sequestered away in a lounge area on campus, judges agonized over the selection.
“It’s a five-way tie,” said Bouchey. “This is one of the hardest decisions we had to make, which is a testament to all of the contestants.” They debated for an entire afternoon, before finally arriving at their decision.
“This shows that the future of design is in great hands,” said competition co-leader Jerry Holmes. “We want to help facilitate that.”
“On behalf of this group, Steelcase gave us this gift of asking us to participate, and it truly is a gift to have come to know you (the contestants) and it’s a gift that you all are truly deserving of,” said Bill Bouchey, HOK design principal.
Following the announcement of the winner, each student received personalized one-on-one feedback with each of the judges to help them understand what worked and what could be improved upon. The contest is meant to mirror the rigor of a real client presentation, and the judges agreed that performing well in the contest sets students up to be successful in the real world of interior design.
WINNER: Elliott Beach, Maryville University
Beach’s design emulated not only the uniqueness and vibrancy of New York City, but the NEXT Company as well. Beach framed his project with an emotive and colorful mood board based on New York City’s Fashion Week to demonstrate his palette and texture choices. That set the table for the ‘pride of place’ reflected throughout the design. Beach said the emphasis on natural ingredients within the cosmetic product informed his decision on using organic curves and shapes in the layout. He also focused on building a space that capitalized on the unique uses of the furniture.
“He excelled in two voices, he put himself in the client’s shoes by speaking with empathy” said Holly Christian, design principal at Little Diversified Architectural Consulting. “But he also spoke as an expert to solve problems.”
The judges were impressed not only with Beach’s design but also his smooth presentation and ability to take the judges on a journey through the space via his storytelling. “I did have a very simple, pragmatic concept but it was a direct response to what the client wanted,” Beach said
Elliott Beach’s Design
Organic forms make up the upper floor where people can socialize, bask in the ample natural light and take in sweeping views of the New York City skyline.
Beach designed the monumental stair as a nod to the ‘great steps’ of old European cities.
The open workspace is bathed in sunlight and encourages workers to gather in the balanced “me + we” spaces.
The most beautiful and awe-inspiring space was reserved for the company’s work cafe to inspire dynamic connections.
This team zone is designed for maximum flexibility, collaboration and productivity.
Molly Taylor, Mississippi State University
Molly Taylor’s design made no bones about bringing the city into the space, mingling a diverse array of materials, street art, lighting and wall applications to recreate NYC’s eclectic and electric vibe. The design heavily features unique and vibrant street art along with elements of urban life such as crosswalks and ‘traffic areas’ designated by darker floor applications meant to mimic asphalt. Taylor’s design was influenced by the melting pot of cultures in New York, and the physical arrangement of space was informed by the efficiency of the city’s street grid.
“Everyone appreciates beauty in a different way, and I wanted to translate that to the company and the brand as well,” Taylor said.
“We loved the attention she paid to the visitor journey, and the huge amount of background and reasoning behind all the elements of the design,” said Sandi Rudy, senior interior designer for Cushing Terrell. “She really directly addressed the idea of wellbeing throughout the space.”
Molly Taylor’s Design
This reception area design offers an ADA compliant desk as well as three individual pieces of street art: a wayfinding mural, a reception desk mural and brand-reinforcing stairway art.
This open office space includes a variety of floor coverings to reduce footfall noise and increase acoustic quality, and also features a custom mural to reinforce office inclusivity. Taylor said she wants the space to feel like it represents everyone who works at NEXT.
Taylor situated her design’s work cafe next to the outdoor terrace to give people a choice of a variety of seating options to encourage people to eat lunch together inside or out.
This product display space includes plenty of sinks and mirrors to allow clients to test products, and is situated near the reception/staircase area for ease of access when influencers and guests visit.
This meeting space is equipped with the Steelcase Roam mobile stand and Microsoft Surface Hub 2S to allow for maximum flexibility.
Morgan James, California State University-Long Beach
Morgan James’ NEXT design was as cerebral as it gets – literally. James centered her design on human biological makeup, for instance, linking NEXT’s brand identity to a fingerprint icon, and designing spaces based on the natural functions of alpha and theta brain waves. Those themes, along with a DNA helix, carried throughout the physical design. As a result, James was able to devise what the judges called a “superb” arrangement of space across the two floors.
“The storytelling was done masterfully and that is such an important part of what we do as professionals. We need to narrate the emotional experience of how the user would interact with the space,” said Mary Cheval, design principal at Ware Malcomb. “The expression of the user experience was absolutely brilliant, particularly as she introduced the concept of a customizable app. She had all of us wanting to download the app right now so we could experience it for ourselves!”
For James, the entire NEXT experience with Steelcase was life changing. “This project easily became my life. It became my passion project and it just brought so much meaning into my life and opened doors I never thought were possible. I thought no one would like it, and I was wrong. It means so much – I feel like I’m just redeemed,” James said.
Morgan James’ Design
This monumental staircase features elements of social togetherness and the Massaud Lounge by Coalesse offers a place to relax.
James’ use of biological features is evident in this office hallway, with the fingerprint icon in the door and the brain wave design as a ceiling application
James said the ceiling design of the work cafe was an “experiment.” It was one of the last features she added to her project, and her favorite element.
The 8th floor retail store is a place for clients and visitors to relax and try on the NEXT product.
The wild card space in James’ design was an “Expression Experience” where a customer uses an app to allow them to see what they would look like in different cosmetics. This was among the judges’ favorite features.
Nevi Keser Gruskin-California State-Long Beach
“Weaving Stronger Paths,” was the motto of Nevi Keser Gruskin’s work and the theme was evident throughout. Gruskin took the idea of social interaction braided with racial inclusivity to literal lengths by weaving strands of different materials together to form walls, ceiling applications and other design elements.
“The three big elements that dictated this project were location, Steelcase furniture and the company brand. I didn’t want to just focus on one. I wanted to play on the diversity aspect, the sustainability aspect and I wanted to come up with a clever way to tightly interweave all of them,” Gruskin said.
The judges were attracted to that theme. “There was a sense of belonging and connectedness with all of your staff and to your company mission,” said Erika Moody, design principal at Helix Architecture + Design. “The design really informed the culture. It would drive the culture.”
Nevi Keser Gruskin’s Design
The “Weaving Strong Paths” idea is evident in Gruskin’s reception/monumental staircase conception.
The interaction lounge is a casual social space where people from different departments cross paths, share information and collaborate.
The work lounge is inspired by nature with plenty of plant life and natural light.
Lagunitas Focus Nooks by Coalesse give people a place for heads down work in these unassigned open spaces.
Gruskin designed the work cafe with a tightly woven net to symbolize the close relationships between employees and their coworkers.
Juliana Schwartz, Kansas State University
Juliana Schwartz began her project by understanding what made New York City, home of the fictional NEXT company, possible. In short, the bedrock upon which all of its high-rises are built. That research informed Schwartz’ unique design elements, as she incorporated bedrock form, shape and appearance throughout the space.
“It was obvious once I learned that the bedrock below New York City is what allows it to exist. It easily transferred into NEXT as a physical space and perfectly helped support people from a spectrum of neurological abilities,” Schwartz said.
Judges also remarked on her stark and contrasting color themes. “It was really nice to see how the color theory worked with the broader design of the project,” said Steve South, design director of Spectorgroup. “She really thought about the future of work. The way the spaces work together was thoughtful and needful, and felt fresh and new.”
Steelcase Architecture and Design Manager Eydie Voss also loved the design. “She nailed it. It was the right balance of a lot of things. It’s obvious she spent a lot of time figuring that balance out.”
Juliana Schwartz’s Design
Incorporating the Turnstone Campfire Collection, the monumental stair creates space suitable for discovery, focus and collaboration.
The NEXT reception area in Schwartz’s design features a desk that is a single monolithic form that supports the bedrock theme.
The large meeting room off the monumental staircase includes a grid partition that can allow the space to be open or enclosed.
The open sales office uses the Steelcase Flex Collection to create a space with team boundaries and personal height-adjustable desks.
The work cafe features a ‘resource bar’ and integrated IT help station.

ASA Announces Winners of 2022 Data Visualization Poster and Statistics Project Competitions
The poster and project competitions are directed by the ASA/National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Joint Committee on Curriculum in Statistics and Probability. First-place winners received $300, a certificate, and grade-appropriate graphing calculators for the students and advisers provided by Texas Instruments. Second-place winners received $200 and a certificate; third-place winners received $100 and a certificate; and honorable mentions received certificates.
The 2022 ASA Data Visualization Poster Competition leader was Jennifer Broatch of Arizona State University. Michelle Larson of the University of Iowa was the head project competition leader.
Posters , submitted digitally either as photos of physical posters or a digital poster, are due every year on April 1. Projects are written reports submitted by students in grades 7–12 and are due on June 1.
National Project Competition Winners
Each year, the statistical project competition attracts a wide variety of submissions in which students from grades 7–12 conduct creative studies. The competition is especially useful for these students because it provides them with opportunities to apply all the statistical skills they have acquired throughout the school year to solve real-world problems of interest to them.
First Place
Annabelle Lee, Olivia Lucero, Cynthia Zhang, and Lia Zheng Muffin Madness Canyon Crest Academy San Diego, California
Judges’ Comments: This project was a well-designed matched pairs experiment investigating blueberries in the baking of muffins. The judges were pleased with the clear and concise writing and the easy flow of the text. The reflection section is particularly strong and thoughtful. In their reflection, the author addresses several of the shortcomings of the study design and describes methods to address those issues; in addition, the author provides thoughtful suggestions for further investigation. The judges appreciated the discussion of statistical significance vs. practical significance included with the results.
Second Place
Shrey Goel, Andie Gately, and Allison Kim Are Clorox Wipes Really Effective at Killing Bacteria? Canyon Crest Academy San Diego, California
Judges’ Comments: This project was well-written and easily followed. The images of data collection were clear and added to clarity of the paper. The dotplot and boxplot were shown using the same scale and numerically aligned, making this a strong visual component of the project. The judges appreciated the description and perseverance of the authors in the collection of data (describing real issues encountered by researchers!) and the personality of the writing (“a strongly worded review”). The use of “prove” was of concern in the conclusion, however, the project uses sound statistical processes and was scored highly by the judges.
Third Place
Catherine Zhou Effectiveness of Chemical Sunscreen versus Mineral Sunscreen in Water Lynbrook High School San Jose, California
Judges’ Comments: This project was clear and easily read; it discusses a timely topic of interest to the general population. The data collection and reflection show a high level of problem solving, which was necessary to answer the statistical question posed by the student. The judges would have preferred to have the histograms aligned using the same scale to aid in visual comparisons. The result of the hypothesis shows evidence of a difference in treatments but fails to describe the difference in a practical way; a confidence interval and interpretation would be a nice addition to the results. The reflection section was strong and suggested several modifications for further research.
Honorable Mention
Mark Pasacreta The Effect Being in a Group Has on Putting Shopping Carts Away Chatham High School Chatham, New Jersey
Judges’ Comments: This project investigated a timely and interesting research question. The judges found the writing to be complete but would prefer a more succinct presentation. The author correctly states this is an observational study but fails to clearly identify the population of interest which weakens the presentation (e.g. checking of conditions, design of study). The data is presented clearly both numerically and graphically; segmented bar graphs would better align with the hypothesis test conducted. The reflection is strong and demonstrates a very good understanding of collecting data and possible biases in regards to observational studies.

Competitive events program.
As an integral part of the classroom curriculum, DECA’s industry-validated competitive events are aligned with the National Curriculum Standards in the career clusters of marketing, business management and administration, finance, and hospitality and tourism.
Earn the DECA Glass
A spark of competition drives DECA members to excel and improve their performance. Whether you have just 10 minutes to put together a creative solution to a case study or 15 minutes to make your pitch, DECA's competitive events let members experience what it's like to be a business professional. DECA’s competitive events can be grouped into three broad categories— role-plays and case studies, prepared events and online simulations. Within each category and type of event, DECA offers a variety of options in each of the four career clusters — marketing, finance, hospitality and management — as well as entrepreneurship and personal financial literacy.
DECA's role-play and case study events involve a multiple-choice career cluster exam and a role-play or case study provided on-site with a judge. They are classified by industry and career cluster. See the DECA Guide for exact offerings and guidelines.

DECA’s prepared events require a written project as well as a prepared presentation, and some require participants to take a career cluster exam. All of these events should be started early in the school year because of the preparation involved. See the DECA Guide for exact offerings and guidelines.

Breaking competitor Raygun bows out of Paris Olympics without a point for Australia, in a sport that may be one and done
Sport Breaking competitor Raygun bows out of Paris Olympics without a point for Australia, in a sport that may be one and done
With the breaking spun, won and done in an Olympics cameo in Paris, Australia's B-Girl, Rachael Gunn, aka Raygun, bowed out without firing a shot.
The buzz was big around Place de la Concorde with superstar American rapper and Olympics aficionado Snoop Dogg taking to the stage to show off a few of his own moves before opening the event.
There was no doubt about the dynamic skills of the athletes, who are judged on creativity, personality, technique, variety, musicality and vocabulary, which is the variation and quantity of moves.
With two live DJs, competitors engaged in three judged battles, which involved two 60-second routines each, before the elimination round and then medals.
But with competition stretching five-and-a-half hours even Snoop, the unofficial Games mascot, had seen enough and made his departure midway through the competition.
Manizha Talash, a breaker from the Olympic refugee team, who was born in Afghanistan before fleeing the Taliban, made an early political statement by unveiling a cape during her round with the words "Free Afghan Women" and was applauded by her Dutch competitor India Sardjoe.
Gunn's first battle was against American Logistx but the Australian was no match for her international rivals, unable to win a point in any three contests including against 16-year-old B-girl Syssy from France.
A university lecturer with a PhD in cultural studies, the 36-year-old said she knew she couldn't compete athletically with their tricks, spins and strength moves, so she tried to be more creative.
"What I wanted to do was come out here and do something new and different and creative — that's my strength, my creativity," Gunn said.
"I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best, the dynamic and the power moves, so I wanted to move differently, be artistic and creative because how many chances do you get in a lifetime to do that on an international stage?
"I was always the underdog and wanted to make my mark in a different way."
ABC Sport is unable to show you the performance nor link to posts about it due to broadcasting rights, but social media lit up with critiques of Raygun's efforts.
Gunn was asked whether breaking deserved to be an Olympic sport and responded that it filled the criteria.
"What is an Olympic sport? It's so broad here ... what are the similarities between dressage and artistic swimming and the 100m sprint and the pentathlon," she said.
"Breaking is clearly athletic and it clearly requires a whole level of dedication across a number of different aspects so I feel like it meets that criteria.
"And it's really bringing a new level of excitement."
While the athletes will compete for medals in Paris, the winners could become obscure trivia questions with Los Angeles not including it in the program in 2028 and Brisbane highly unlikely.
The Oceania champion said it was disappointing the American Olympic organisers had snubbed it, given the roots of breaking were in that country.
"It was disappointing that it was decided before we'd even had a chance to show it, so I think that was possibly a little premature," she said.
"I wonder if they're kicking themselves now, particularly because they've got some great American breakers who could totally be on the podium.
"But it's not the end for breaking, the breaking culture is so strong."
She took to Instagram this morning with a quip for social media users who had mocked her outfit online.
"Looking forward to the same level of scrutiny on what the bboys [male breaking contestants] wear tomorrow," she said.
Australia's 16-year-old B-boy Jeff Dunne, known as "J Attack", will line up in the male competition on Saturday.

Tempur Sealy's deal to buy Mattress Firm aims to 'eliminate' competition, document shows
A May 2022 presentation to the board by the company's CEO stated that buying Mattress Firm would enable Tempur Sealy to "eliminate future competition" and "block future competition", the papers showed. The presentation did not name the executive.
Scott Thompson has been Tempur Sealy CEO since 2015, after shareholders ousted Mark Sarvary.
The document, unsealed on Wednesday, is among submissions by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which sued last month to block the cash-and-stock deal announced in May 2023.
The FTC expressed concerns about the deal's impact on competition, higher prices for consumers and potential job losses for manufacturing workers.
The two companies and the FTC did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Through the deal, Tempur Sealy seeks to add Mattress Firm's 2,300-plus brick-and-mortar stores. The combined company will have about 3,000 stores globally, if the deal goes through.
