Description
Recently, about 100 middle school students were selected from 12 participating Minority Serving Institutions to attend a STEM Youth Summit in San Francisco, CA. Each campus team was asked to apply skills gained over the past year to develop a design/technology solution for solving a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG). Each team created a 2- minute video to pitch their product ideas to an independent judging panel. The top 3 teams were invited to present their pitch before a live judging panel and audience during the Youth Summit. The projects delivered by the top 3 teams are presented in this paper. A discussion on how the teams prepared for the pitch competition is also provided.
