Reminder!

Class,

Remember, tomorrow you are giving your one-minute pitch for your idea for the semester project. Here are the details, if you misplaced your handout.

In the business world, an “elevator pitch” is a quick, passionately delivered description of a product that an inventor/business owner has created. You never know when you’ll be standing in line or sharing an elevator ride with a rich and powerful investor. To make the most of such an opportunity, an inventor must have an elevator pitch ready to roll at a moment’s notice.
Next week, you will “pitch” your 20Time Project idea to the full class with a 60-second elevator pitch/mini-presentation.

Your pitch must include:

Your name
What you want to create during your 20Time Project
Why you chose this project (Tell a little story, perhaps?)
What materials/resources you’ll need
What obstacles you anticipate and your plan to navigate those obstacles Why this project is worthy of a significant investment of time
Graciously thank the audience for our time/consideration of your idea

Be organized with your thoughts and ready to speak passionately about your 20Time Project proposal. You will also participate in a full-class question/answer session after your pitch (a kinder, gentler Shark Tank experience of sorts), so be ready to further explain/defend your idea.


Remember, you should also be bringing in your current event and academic paragraph. :) 
Next week, I will have your essay prompt.
