Practical exercise

Video defend a Polymath portfolio project in five minutes

This is the capstone for the public speaking track. You will pick one Polymath portfolio project you have already shipped, plan a five minute defence using the three act outline, deliver it twice on camera, answer five mock questions from a sibling or friend, and walk away with one finished video that any university or employer can watch.

Video defend a Polymath portfolio project in five minutes

Stretch

Defend one project per quarter on video. After a year you will have four defences in your portfolio, which is more than most people have in their entire careers. Apply to one university or job that asks for a video; the package will set you apart.

Goes into your portfolio

A folder containing portfolio-defence-final.mp4, defence-questions.mp3, defence-reflection-NN, plus the original sticky note photo and the project artifact itself.
