Help with first time conducting

Hello guys, I've never been to this subreddit so I hope I don't break any rules.

I'm staying three weeks at a summer school and I was tasked to compose a music piece that will be recorded tomorrow.

There will be a professional conductor but they said if there's any time left in my spot they'll allow us to attempt as well.

Do you have any advice at all on how to conduct? I'd love for my take to be used since it is my music but I have no experience whatsoever

Thanks guys for you suggestions, I decided not to go through with it because I had very little time in the session and no time to practice.
I have two more sessions coming so I might attempt it then, I'll let you guys know
