Join TEM for an interdisciplinary low-stakes pitch competition, focused on
connecting students from different disciplines and focusing on
underrepresented ethnic groups. The goal of this event is to connect
students, both undergraduate and graduate, who have not met previously to
work together and create a 15-minute pitch and a 10-minute Q&A from
judges on a new business idea focusing around solving problems. The event
will include networking and mentorship from business professionals.
