LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 24, 2022)The University of Kentucky Office of Undergraduate Research has announced the fourth 5-Minute Fast Track Research Competition finalists. These undergraduates competed in the competition’s preliminary round and were selected as Top 10 finalists to present their research during the final round from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, in The Cornerstone’s eSports Theater.
Finalists will present their research in five minutes in front of a panel of judges and a live audience using only a single static slide. The goal of this competition is to improve undergraduate students’ abilities to communicate their research to a nonspecialist audience while creating a compelling story about their scholarly work.
Students compete for cash prizes: $750 for first place, $500 for second place
