CS244b project presentations

Timing

Each team will have 12 minutes. Please prepare a 10-minute presentation to leave 2 minutes for questions.

Venue and timing

All students are encouraged to attend all presentations.

Monday’s presentations will be via zoom. The zoom password is the same as for lecture (see canvas or edstem).

Because of the ventilation-driven classroom shortage, Tuesday’s presentations will be split over two venues: 200-205 for the first half of presentations, and Skilling Auditorium for the second half.

Sadly, Stanford does not allow food in building 200, so we cannot serve lunch. We will serve refreshments in the afternoon at Skilling.
