- please ensure that you are
thoroughly familiar with the judging criteria for the semi-finals

this stage, it is meant to document the amount of research work that
you have carried out so far. In the event that you do not have the
opportunity to present everything about your project due to time
constraint, you can still refer the judges to the materials or information
in your website during the Q&A session
