| Stanford Energy Tournament Tentative ScheduleWriting a New Path for Energy Policy in the U.S 9:30-10:00AM Registration, Continental Breakfast Show up early and enjoy complimentary coffee, soda, juice, and breakfast pastries. Who doesn’t like breakfast pastries? I’d come for them even if I weren’t going to hear great ideas that could change the shape of America’s future energy policy. 10:00-11:30 Roosevelt Challenge: First Round We will have invited 20-25 participants to present 2 minute pitches of their energy policy ideas to be judged on creativity, potential for impact, and feasibility. 11:30-12:00 Energy Research Presentations As a break from the rapid-fire challenge (and to let the judges deliberate), we will have invited 2 advanced students to present the methods and conclusions of their energy policy research. You’ll get a chance to see some of the best that a new generation of researchers has to offer. 12:00-12:45 Lunch, Keynote Speaker, TBA Do I even have to explain? Eat up and enjoy the words of an expert. The meal’s on us, so life probably couldn’t be much better. 12:45-1:00 A Note on the Roosevelt Institution Kai Stinchcombe, the Executive Director of The Roosevelt Institution will speak briefly about the organization, its vision, and our new “25 ideas” publication. 1:00-3:00 Roosevelt Challenge: Final The top 10 competitors from the first round will be invited to expand their pitch to a 5 minute presentation with more complete information. The presentations will proceed in reverse order of ranking and we will link up (via a video conferencing connection) with Middlebury College in Vermont, which will be hosting a similar event, to view their final round and provide joint judging. You won’t just be getting California’s ideas. We’re going coast-to-coast to find a vision for America’s future energy policy. 3:00-3:30 Break/Beverages While the judges deliberate, grab yourself another cup of coffee, water or a soda and make the best of your opportunity to chat with our competitors, board members, or even your neighbors. You never know who is going to change the world. This may be your chance to meet him or her. 3:30 PM Winners Announced/Closing Words Eric Mitzenmacher, President of The Roosevelt Institution’s Stanford chapter, will announce the winners and close with a review of upcoming events.
