What is a Reverse Pitch?
Unlike a regular pitch competition, which involves participants presenting their pitch to potential investors, Reverse Pitch participants engage in problem-solving regarding a pain point or a challenge, using technology.
We pitch challenges to you, and you present your solution to us - it’s a Reverse Pitch!

How it Works:
The Reverse Pitch Competition is open to all Bermuda’s high school and college students.
Form a team and register it by emailing edd@gov.bm!
Teams must be led by an adult supervisor who will work with them on this project and guide them, assisting with general industry knowledge and know-how, problem-solving methodologies, and project management skills.
The top solutions will be presented before a panel of judges during Tech Education Day. The winning teams will receive, among others, prizes and bragging rights.
Winners will be invited to pitch their solutions at the Global Entrepreneurship Week’s Rocket Pitch Competition, competing for a cash prize.

Bus app
Develop an app that revolutionises public transportation and makes booking a ride on a public bus fast, cost-effective, and convenient.
We want to say goodbye to worries about bus cancellations, finding taxis, or carrying cash.
No more long waits or crowded buses. Instead, let’s enjoy a comfortable and safe ride with the added convenience of technology.
Show us how you will design, develop, test, and market this mobile app – add any other features you think would enhance it.
Together, we can bring this project to life and transform transportation in Bermuda.
Live Alert
Many of us spend too much time on the road - often due to daily commutes, traffic jams, accidents, potholes, road works, or other delays.
We want you to develop an app that will alert road users of real-time traffic issues. You can call it Live Alert and have it provide up-to-date notifications on traffic jams, accidents, potholes, road works, and more.

Ocean cleanup
Pollution is a severe problem attacking our beaches, shores, and surrounding waters.
We want you to design an app to help Bermuda solve this problem by allowing people to report and track ocean pollution sources and sightings.
With this app, you can make a difference in saving the ocean. You will be able to report and track the sources of pollution, help clean it up, and raise awareness among others.

Together, we can bring this project to life and create a cleaner Bermuda.
Efficiency Optimiser
We all have too many things to keep track of - and we do not have enough time to remember all those different things. They may be small, but when you forget about them, they directly affect your comfort, convenience, and budget. These things have a useful but limited shelf life, like batteries, water filters, fire extinguishers, and prescription pills.
We want you to design an app that will keep track of our items’ lifespans and notify us when they need to be replaced or serviced.
This mobile app could make our lives easier with more peace of mind and control. It could also save us money, time, and hassle by helping us avoid costly repairs and enjoy optimal performance.
