In class this week, I thought it was interesting when we went over what makes an elevator pitch successful. In your analysis of my groups presentation, I found it very interesting that the quality of the pitch is less dependent on the content and more so on how it grabs the attention of the listener. As we were working to make the changes, it forced us to discover what was important in our actual poster. We deleted information that we thought wasn’t relevant to the audience and added, in its place, photos that serve as a visual representation.
In our new pitch, we intend to push the audiences attention towards the more prevalent photos in our poster. Instead of explaining boring factual information, we want to put the audience in real life situations so they can see the ethical consequences themselves. In this we hope, that although short, our pitch can better translate the meaning behind our research and the topics of this class.
