Imagine studying a topic for years; and then having to boil it all down to 180 seconds in front of a live audience.
Trent’s Three-Minute Thesis competition takes place tomorrow night at Market Hall.
Principal of Catharine Parr Traill College, Dr. Michael Eamon, says it’s shaping up to be a very competitive challenge.
Dr. Eamon, says there will be a wide range of subjects.
Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, as well as the Audience Choice Prize, will be awarded, with each prize $500, but Dr. Eamon says going through this type of competition has rewards beyond prize money.
There will be 19 participants competing, with each person only allowed to use a single static Power Point slide that must remain in view for the entire presentation.
