The Pitch Up! Competition provides undergraduate aerospace engineering students with the opportunity to showcase their technical work and receive feedback on their presentation skills.
Based on the 3MT Competition, the Pitch Up! Competition challenges you to describe a technical project you've contributed to in three minutes with a chance to win cash prizes!
Create a single slide presentation describing your project, and prepare a three minute pitch describing your work in layman's terms.
