I’ve thought about how to share my “why”—why this project matters to me personally.

I’ve written down the problem my project is trying to solve.

I’ve done some research (at least 5 sources!) to learn more about the issue and what’s already being done.

I’ve found examples of how other people or organizations are tackling this problem and thought about what makes my idea unique.

I’ve added key points from my research into my pitch.

I’ve made a step-by-step plan for how my project will actually happen, including short-term and long-term goals.

I know what resources, tools, or people I’ll need to make this project work.

I’ve come up with 3-5 questions to ask advisors about my project.

I’ve shown my pitch to someone (a peer, mentor, or staff) and gotten feedback.

I’ve made sure my presentation is clear and includes both research and my plan.

Check off all you've done! Feel free to pause here and add more to your pitch if needed.
