Make-A-Pitch Competition
Ready, Set, Pitch!
The Make-A-Pitch Competition provides you the opportunity to present an idea in 2-minutes to a small panel of judges for feedback, prizes, and bragging rights. Students can work individually, or in teams and while you can have a prop, there are no slides for this brief pitch. CMU students from ALL MAJORS are welcome to participate.
