Your work will be portrayed in an electronic presentation format, you can use PowerPoint or other presentation software. The length of this will depend upon the extent of your work, there is no word or page limit, but it has to be sufficiently brief to be able to be presented in three minutes. I do recommend that you use brief bullet points in the main part of the slide, and add some explanatory notes under the main slide.
