I think that's a great way to approach it. (Our department recently did something similar for recruiting students to upper-year math courses and it worked really well.) So please use this template to create a single slide of your work (max 100 words, but visuals are better).

Better to have a few pictures and even animation if possible. Remember, my ability to present your slides is limited, so just stick to the very basics. Each slide will have about a minute to be presented.
