ASSIGNMENT

There are two sections in this assignment. Read the instructions carefully in each section.

Preparation:
In learning unit 3 you learned about the problem domains (see reading on Black Board as well
as the PowerPoint on the workshop –the slide on problem domains below).

Section 1 40 marks

Write a one minute Pitch for a STUDENT BUSINESS that may be launched in a lean way and
solves a current problem that you as a student identified (no or very little start-up capital, thus
you need to be creative). This implies that you need an idea on a business for students that can
be launched within a few days and grand ideas that require large sums of start-up capital has no
place here.

However, you are expected to get the buy-in of fellow students and for that reason you need to
present the pitch in visual, audio or video format to a peer (choose one format).
Use the guidelines on a pitch to compile your written pitch first. See Blackboard or the slides
below:
The assessment of section 1 is as follows:

Section 2

Make an aid to communicate your idea: PowerPoint presentation (no more than 4 slides-may
include sound or not), or a video (on You Tube or channel where the link can be shared) or a
poster (one page) or a podcast to assist the communication of your pitch. Choose the format
that you are best at (play to your strengths).
Give the aid to a fellow student in the class to assess according to the rubric
