Public Speaking & Project Defense

Marina Volkova, Nordwind's CTO, has opened every capstone defense in the catalog. In three lessons she teaches exactly what she looks for when a student defends real work in front of leadership.

What you'll learn

  • Structure a project defense so the point lands in the first minute
  • Handle tough follow-up questions from stakeholders on the spot
  • Turn a defense into the start of the next opportunity, not the end of one

Your next step

Works as a first step into any of Nordwind's 12 full programs — every one of them ends in a capstone defense.
