Get ready for ECE’s 2024 Three Minute Competition Heat, happening Wednesday, March 6th at 11am in room KAIS 2020/2030!
3MT is one of our most popular events, with some very good benefits to consider if you are thinking of signing up as a participant! 3MT gives graduate students the opportunity to build their presentation skills, hear about research being done by other students in ECE, and take part in a friendly competition with cash prizes for the winners
The basic idea of 3MT is that you explain the breadth and significance of your research project to a non-specialist audience in 3 minutes or less using a single slide. This has been incredibly helpful for students preparing for their final defenses who need a low-stakes platform to practice their skills.
How to sign up:
In order to participate in our ECE heat, please send an email to help@ece.ubc.ca with the subject line “3MT 2024 – YOUR NAME”, and tell us your program of study and your student number, by 4:00pm on February 16th at the latest. Once you sign up, we will send you further information on how to submit your slide for your presentation and how to prepare.
The winners from our ECE heat will win a cash prize and be forwarded to participate in the university-wide semi-finals competition. All participants will also have a chance to take part in a practice session and receive feedback on their presentations before the event. We encourage participants to use the below for help preparing their presentation and slides.
