Take Action Project: Making A Pitch

Summary:

Students will learn about what a pitch and pitch deck are and then work to create their own. Students meet Rose Wang, an entrepreneur who co-founded Chirp Chips and got a deal on Shark Tank with her pitch. Students will learn three strategies for creating a pitch and pitch deck: the structure of a pitch, what makes a good pitch deck, and presentation skills when giving their pitch. Students then put a pitch and pitch deck together and present their pitch!

Final Project
