Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could probably guess that you're thinking that the ubiquitous, wing-sprouting energy drink has NOTHING to do with what we learned this week in class. And I guess you would probably be right. However, I think I have a valid angle here. Tell me what you think.
So, Red Bull frequently does these competitions where they recruit average Joes and Janes who think they can compete. Right now, Red Bull is recruiting 100 teams of 3 to leave from one of 4 cities in Europe (London, Paris, Milan, or Vienna). The teams are given a phone, some maps, an emergency fund of cash (use of which disqualifies the team), and a case of Red Bull. The team is given one week to get to the finish line in Berlin.
Here is my angle. We have been working hard on presentation skills and such this week, and I realized that they are directly applicable to the application my team and I need to send in to the good folks at Red Bull. A stellar presentation here exponentially increases our chances at an adventure of a lifetime.
Right now, my brother and I (we're the only members of the three person team so far. We might have another girl to do it with us, but she has her capstone project due that week. Lame.) are working hard to apply these presentation principles to our application. We think we have a fighting chance.
Rock on.
