While we enjoy working with students in person, we love to interact with students from across the globe. As such, we occasionally offer virtual pitch competitions, which bring the thrill of the Design & Pitch Challenges to any computer in the world. Check back often to see when our next virtual pitch competition is scheduled, or email us at design_pitch@ncsu.edu<\/a> to set one up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
