Team presentations will be judged against the SESL Final Presentation Rubrics. Teams should also be aware of the Final Presentation Parameters included in the Student Handbook.
We encourage all teams to think outside the box and to dream up, research, and present a realistic, innovative idea that will positively impact your community in one of the areas identified in this year's challenge. These categories provide a general framework for generating ideas; however, as always we include a Wildcard category as well because as entrepreneurs you excel at generating your own ideas and we don't want to limit your brainstorming!
