About
The Rice Undergraduate Elevator Pitch Competition is an annual 90-second product pitch contest supported by the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK), Rice Alliance, and Rice Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL). The pitches identify a problem, describe a solution to that problem, and the advantages and commercial potential of the concept. This competition is open to all Rice undergraduate students. Entries may be at any stage of development. These competitions are often sponsored by Industry partners and Rice alumni. Cash prizes are given to winners.
