Activity Tutorial

Purpose

  • Teams should use this activity to synthesize what they have learned into clearly communicated insights regarding the design of a smart energy management system
  • Organize the design strategies developed throughout the first three activities to write executive summary and create final presentation
  • Present how data collected from their home devices informed approach to designing for different quantitative goals that represent a specific home scenario
  • Incorporate knowledge of AI and different tools for device power scheduling to discuss opportunities to improve power distribution, energy efficiency, and electricity costs

Part 1: Reporting Your Findings – Executive Summary

Instructions: In 5 pages or less, write an Executive Summary discussing (1) the initial performance of your home’s devices, (2) how you used your data to design for new device operations, and (3) how your final design of an AI-assisted energy management system addresses the scenario you chose. This should summarize key parts from Activities 1–3, so look back and use what you have discussed in those Activities. Some of your ideas or thoughts about your home’s operations may have changed since you completed those Activities, so be sure to note those changes.

Use the “PTCMS_25_4_Executive Summary Outline” Word document as a template for your Executive Summary. At the beginning of that document, there is more information on what to include and how to structure your report. You can write your Executive Summary directly into that document, which is already properly formatted.

Executive Summary Main Goals

Explain how…

  • analyzing your data helped you discover different trends in your devices’ power usage and energy consumption.
  • your initial ideas about your devices were changed by the data you collected and analyzed.
  • the data you observed helped you decide on changes you would make when designing a new power schedule.
  • your new schedule met different goals for your selected scenario.
  • you would use IoT devices and AI in your home energy management system to improve the efficiency of your device operations, based on the criteria of your selected scenario.

Saving your Executive Summary

After you have finished writing your Executive Summary, save it as a PDF file named “Executive Summary_[Team Name].pdf”. You will submit this file using the submission instructions at the end of this document.

Part 2: Presenting Your Design – Presentation

Instructions: Create a PowerPoint Presentation and record a 5-7 minute video of your team presenting it to walk your audience (the judges!) through the different aspects of your design process. Emphasize how insights obtained from your measured and analyzed data led to the new goals and conditions you created for your smart energy management system.

Use the “PTCMS_25_4_Presentation Outline” PowerPoint slide deck as a template for your design presentation. At the beginning of that slide deck, there is more information on what to include in your presentation and how to structure it. You can create your presentation by filling your content into that slide deck, which provides an outline of all the necessary slides.

Design Presentation Main Goals

Demonstrate how…

  • you made new goals and planned changes in the operation of your devices to design your new power schedule based on data from your initial power schedule
  • the changes you made to your device operations helped you design a home energy management system that addresses your specific home scenario

Feel free to get creative with the formatting and design of the presentation by adding more slides, playing with fonts/backgrounds/transitions/colors, and more! Don’t forget to format text in bullet points. Paragraphs can be difficult to read, so substitute text for images, graphs, tables, etc., and make sure to proofread for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes.

Saving your Presentation

After you have finished creating your Design Presentation PowerPoint, save it as a PDF file named “Design Presentation_[Team Name].pdf”. You will submit this file using the submission instructions at the end of this document.

Video Instructions

Use Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS, Loom, Bandicam or any other recording platform your teacher allows to record a video of your presentation. Make sure to record both the screen and audio so your team can explain your design and walk through your presentation for the audience.

Saving your Video

After you have finished creating your Design Presentation Video, save it as an MP4 or MOV file named “Presentation Video_[Team Name].mp4/.mov” and submit this file using the submission instructions at the end of this document.
