KACTE Summer Conference 2024

NOTE: This is a double session
Join us in an action-packed, 2-hour interactive “Quick Pitch” session. Educators and educational leaders will walk through, beginning to end, a strategy for hosting web based pitch competitions. The competitions encourage and reward entrepreneurial thinking among students and teachers at any grade level and in any content area. Connections will be made to multiple educational gaps, including student engagement, financial literacy, connecting to global learning communities, family engagement, cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, and connecting to industry professionals.

Success stories and data from schools that have implemented web-based pitch competitions will be shared, highlighting increased student engagement, improved financial literacy, and stronger community connections. Testimonials from educators, students, and community members will underscore the tangible benefits of integrating web-based pitch competitions into the curriculum.

By the end of this session, participants will have a clear roadmap for employing web-based pitch competitions as a multifaceted educational tool to address key learning objectives and prepare students for future success.

A laptop is highly recommended.

This session is hosted by KCCTE.
