Group Project: Pitch Ideas

It is now time to begin preparations for your Group Project. You’ve been given groups, so the first step for group projects is to pitch ideas.

Tasks

As a group, arrange a 30-60 minute time when you can all be in the same place. Lab time is ideal for this.

There will be two phases for this:

• Brainstorming Ideas
• Pitching a Project

Brainstorm Ideas

Grab a whiteboard and brainstorm ideas. During this phase, there is no comment or criticism of ideas. Ideas should be given in the form of titles or very short phrases. If explanation is needed, save it for the pitch round.

Pitching a Project

Once a critical mass of ideas has been written down, the person who offered the idea will give a pitch. Each pitch may be no longer than 2 to 3 minutes. The purpose of a pitch is to sell the idea to your groupmates. During this phase, questions may be asked, but discussion should be limited. Keep it short and to the point.

At the end of the pitch you should have formed a short list of favorites.

Submitting Your Work

Use the provided text area to write down your own favorites. Provide the title of the idea and a description in your own words of what it is about.
