Overview

If you've ever seen "Shark Tank," you know what you're doing for the pitch phase. You're using the pitch to tell your classmates about your project and find out how they can support and help you. They will also provide feedback to you about your project.

Your Task

You will be creating a presentation to your class about your project. The presentation should last no more than 3 minutes. You may use whatever format you want (see some suggestions below) but you need to have the following information.

1. Project title & your first name with last initial
2. What you're going to make & what you're going to learn.
3. Why you're going to learn it. Why you want to learn it. Why you want to make what you're going to make.
4. How you're going to go about doing it, including a brief schedule of how you're going to get there.
5. What would be a success in your mind?
