As we identified in the I-Corps curriculum, aminimum viable product of our Engineering Ambassador Network is an advanced presentationstrategy that we teach to our Engineering Ambassadors: the assertion-evidence approach [7]. Inshort, the assertion-evidence approach challenges the common approach to technicalpresentations. This commonly followed approach, marked by a reliance on bulleted lists, hasarisen from STEM presenters following PowerPoint’s defaults. Instead of designing presentationslides with phrase headlines supported by bulleted lists, the assertion-evidence approach calls fora slides to have a succinct sentence
