They will need to decide on the criteria they intend to mark the teams on (e.g. teamwork, clarity, timeliness, interactivity, relevance, creativity, enthusiasm etc), encourage the students to think as creatively as possible when planning their pitches and ensure they use the research links provided in the student project sheets.
