Lesson 12:  Pitch

Teachers:  Click HERE to open slides with speaker notes.

  • Using the Prepare your Pitch Planner handed out in class today, discuss the pitch requirements with your team (page 1).  

  • Then use the organizer on page 2 to draft bullet points for your pitch.  You should also decide who will speak for each part of your presentation.

  • Video pitch will be required for submission to the Georgia Tech InVenture State Competition.  Georgia Tech will provide specific details and directions to teachers.

  • Be sure to include how your solution is ORIGINAL when compared to similar products on Google Patents, Amazon  and other searches.

  • Nervous?  FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!  YOU CAN DO IT!
