About the event
We meet in person in Kaplan TBD on Tuesday evening, April 22. Our goal is to get you going on getting your presentations ready. Archie will brief you on what is needed for a presentation.
Spend some time thinking about why anyone should care about the social impact of what you are doing. You want to be able to quickly tell a compelling story about your organization and how your venture will address an important social problem. Speak with passion about the social impact of your projects.
As you work on your presentations, you should review presentations from past Academy Showcase events. Here are some videos

Three teams are pitching for 8 minutes in each video.
Attached is a document describing the format for what is needed.
On April 29, you will be giving a first draft of your pitch to your organization, so you will be using the breakout sessions to plan on how you will prepare for that pitch.
