The SLC is inviting all of you to take part in the perfect pitch competition on Friday September 15th at 12:20PM in MK 404. The perfect pitch competition is a contest where you have 90 seconds to pitch in a clear and persuasive manner how your ongoing research or topic of interest is connected with the strategic mission of CURENT: “...high efficiency, high reliability, low cost, better accommodation of renewable energy sources, full utilization of energy storage, and accommodation of responsive load."
You are required to use one PowerPoint slide to assist with your pitch and you must address three key points: problem/opportunity, solution and impact.
Students from our partner schools are also encouraged to participate and will be able to pitch remotely through WebEx. The WebEx link will be sent next week.
