The Pitch

What You'll Learn

🧠 You have 60 seconds to pitch your invention to 'investors' (your class). Can you explain what it does, why it matters, and why people would want it? Selling ideas is a creative skill too! Understanding presenting creative ideas persuasively is one of the building blocks of strong thinking. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong — that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
