General Pitch Video Instructions
Keep in mind that the STEM Summit audience is pre-university teachers and STEM enthusiasts. Make sure your video is engaging for that kind of audience.
You will need to make a plan to complete the pitch in 3 minutes. Remember you are pitching the presentation, not you. Be yourself and provide a summary of your proposed presentation and how it would be engaging to the STEM Summit audience.
To create your video, you may use the camera app on your phone to record, or use the “record” feature on a video conference app.
Video resolution should be at least 720p (landscape) with a 30 FPS rate. Make sure your video has clear sound quality.
