Presenting at the Kids' Conference
If presenting at a Conference seems a big challenge don't worry!
We ensure the Kids' Conference is a positive environment for you to 'teach the teachers'.
You'll also be sharing your knowledge and experience with loads of other students.
Each year we also have some special guest presenters and attendees from government, charitable organisations, business and education specialists. They all love to hear what you have developed and to understand what you have learned through the project.
Each presentation goes for 10 minutes for each school.You can present individually or in groups.Your presentations should focus on some aspect of your learning in applying your chosen discipline(s) and technology or other innovation related to History, Geography, English, Maths, Music or Science.
For Kids' Conference Oxford, Religious Education and Languages are also disciplines you can explore.
The Kids' Conference is non-competitive All presenters receive a certificate of participation. Your project presentation may be published on the Kids' Cloud which means other people can formally recognise your work. For more information about presenting make sure your teacher reads the Kids' Conference Guide.

We're looking for great projects but not perfect presentations.
We'd like to learn something from you about:
- how did you explore your idea?
- how did you work together?
- who did you get to help / advise you?
- what did you learn that could help others trying out a new technology?
- did you use a new framework to help develop your project?
- how did your project help others to learn about your topic?
- did your project influence / help your friends, family, community or the environment?
