Science Slam session at Software Campus Summit

Science Slam means scientists on stage to share their knowledge in a time-boxed presentation with the audience. It is similar to a poetry slam, but without lyrics, instead an entertaining scientific presentation. It is a great chance to approach your research from a different angle and learn how to present it in an illustrating way.

This is how it works:

There will be a preliminary round on the first day, Dec 3rd. In this first round, everyone is presenting in the science slam. As there will be many presentations, the audience is split up into two to three rooms with parallel tracks. Each room select the best science slam presentation of this room by rating.

On the following day, Dec 4th, these Top three to four Science Slammers will present their slam again in the final round and again, the audience selects the best science slam presentation by rating. The best pitch will be awarded.
