Demo Competition
If you are planning to demo a project at Demo Comp in week 2 of Mod 4, you MUST timebox your time over intermission and in weeks 1 and 2 to ensure you are meeting module expectations. We recommend setting aside specific times to work with your demo team over intermission to finish your demo BEFORE week 1 begins.
