Our summer program students are working hard to complete their prototypes. In addition to learning technical knowledge and skills, they are also practicing very important life skills like commitment, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. The latter skills are better caught than taught. #umdcpse #CPSEJumpstart2024

What makes a good pitch? Today, the 21st of November, 2023, marks the first time I would attend the Professor Ayodele Awojobi Design Competition - PAADC. I registered for the program with one goal in mind, and I was able to achieve this goal in such an inspiring way. Finding resources to help improve your pitch online is easy, but nothing tops witnessing a great pitch live. At Shuttlers, during the NextGen intership program, I made my first pitch with my team on an innovative idea for the company. My team won and I knew it was just the beginning of my journey pitching innovations. I eagerly anticipated the pitches by the finalists for the PAADC 7th edition. I got ready to take down notes and I was able to add more to my knowledge as the finalists pitched their innovations. Schrödinger technologie stole the show with its confident and amazing pitch. Henry Lamba, the CEO of Schrödinger technologie, began the pitch with a compelling hook, and the audience was immediately drawn to him. He pitched Schrödinger technologie with clarity and conviction. Despite being interrupted for a while, he was unfazed and continued his pitch with unwavering energy. The key things I noted from his pitch were • Start with a hook. • Use story telling to your advantage. • Build your slides to contain important details. • Be prepared to answer questions asked by the judges. • Be confident. I am glad to have attended this program and I will surely put all I have learnt to practice. #paadc7 #BuildCreateInnovate #Innovation
