So elevator pitches happened this week and are going to happen next week. I think it is a great way to give a group of people a quick "okay, here's my idea" for when you don't really know what you're doing yet. It's kind of interesting because the idea behind it is (or at least the feeling I got) was that you aren't really trying to get the person you're talking to involved, but hoping that someone in the "elevator" will overhear and be engaged and maybe look into it later.
Anyways, moving onto how it went for others. People had a really hard time sticking to the 90-second limit and had a tendency to overexplain themselves. This is probably a result of us not quite knowing what we are doing. It was obvious, though, that pretty much everyone that presented had a passion about what they were doing and genuinely though that it was the best current solution. I don't really know how some people are going to further their ideas but, hey, that's not my problem. Obviously, the G.H. English for grades 11 and 12 was a good idea :) Actually it was well done, and I liked a lot of the things that we talked about. The Communicating through Motion one was also good. Granted, I don't really understand it, but I thought it was cool that they solved a problem in a way that I never would have thought of.
