During your presentation, the judges may ask unexpected questions.
The judges will read the work description in advance, and can ask questions about any parts that are missing or that they do not understand.
In addition, if you find similar works through a data search, you may be asked to discuss the unique aspects of your work.
Therefore, to avoid being flustered by sudden questions during your presentation, it is a good idea to prepare anticipated questions in advance and prepare them before going to the presentation hall.

To prepare for the National Science Exhibition or the National Student Science Invention Competition, you will repeatedly write, practice, and revise your presentation scenario, think about expected questions, and write expected answers.
I believe this process is a very important experience that can be used not only in science, but also in school and throughout life.
