Timeless Skills Summer Pitch Competition: Where Today's Icons Meet Tomorrow's

​Join us for the Timeless Skills Pitch Competition, a celebration of student innovation and purpose-driven work—judged by icons Diane von Furstenberg, Hadi Partovi, and Deb Liu.

​Twelve finalists will present the passion projects they built this summer through Curious Cardinals—projects that span everything from scientific research and social impact ventures to films and entrepreneurial startups. Each student will share the timeless skills they honed in this AI era and make the case for how they’d use $1,000 to take their work to the next level.

​Three winners will be selected.

​What makes this competition extraordinary is the diversity of ideas and the mission behind it. At Curious Cardinals, we’re not just preparing students for Friday’s test—we’re empowering them with the skills, confidence, and vision to lead lives of impact and purpose.

​We’re honored to have such timeless role models judging this event and can’t wait to celebrate the incredible work our students have poured their hearts into this summer.
