- In your presentation, be sure to include: (these are ideas)
- Name of person
- Picture(s) of person and possibly their contribution(s)
- Date and location of birth
- Highlights of their education as it relates to computers and programming
- Outline their career path / experiences
- Outline specific contributions they made
- If relevant, impact they had on world or other programmers
- Consider including:
- Video link
- Link to other sites about the person(s)
- Advice
- The programmers you choose should represent different periods of time and / or areas of programming. In other words don't choose only computer game programmers.
- Be sure not to get caught in the trap of reporting on issues that have nothing to do with programming biography. Example, elementary school, number of siblings, favourite vacation spot, who they married, etc. We do not want their whole life story.
- Don't become a copy and paste thief. Put things in your own words.
- Cite the sources you used to gather your information
- Your presentation will be evaluated amongst other things in terms of depth of content, organization, visual appeal, sources used.
