The presentation must be performed live in the room in front of the judges.   Here is the pertinent section from challenge guide.
 • All teams must present live. The team may use media equipment (if available) only to enhance the live presentation.

They can use a video as part of their sharing outside the judging room.  The team I coached did that one year. 

For the tournament have them think about how they could use props in lieu of a green screen to do their broadcast.

One other reminder the 5 minutes starts the moment the team walks in the room not after they have setup their props etc.

I am so glad to have this group to help one another as we prepare for the tournaments.
My question is about the project presentation.  As we were reviewing the rules yesterday, we realized it says live presentations.
My groups as some members really interested and capable of video editing.  They were hoping to make their presentation in the form of a news cast.  This idea came about because the room we use for practice has a green screen.  All our team members have a part and have even begun writing their scripts as news anchors, reporters and those being interviewed.
Do you think doing it as a video and bringing a laptop to show the presentation is ok?  All the members will be there and ready to answer questions.  Is there a way to use this concept and wrap it somehow in a live presentation?  What do ya'll think?  
I just want to encourage their creativity and interest in learning how to create and edit videos as part of this process.
Thanks everyone!!!
