Twelve finalists have emerged from a large and competitive applicant pool. About half of the applicants were selected to audition before selecting 12 to move on to the last round at the big event. On February 18, the finalists will have 2 minutes to convince the audience and student judges that their idea is a cut above the rest. They will be evaluated on the potential for significant impact, viability, innovation, and presentation quality. Audience members are invited to submit “shark-tank” questions to put presenters on the spot and consider new aspects or challenges to their ideas. May the best pitch win!
