High School Three-Minute Thesis
A national academic competition where high school students
share big ideas in just 3 minutes
HS3MT is a national competition that challenges high school students to turn research, passions, and bold ideas into clear and powerful presentations. Each talk is just three minutes, using one slide and no props.​
​
Inspired by the world-renowned Three Minute Thesis (3MT®), the competition helps students build real communication skills and speak with confidence.​
​
It’s more than a presentation. It’s preparation for the real world, because your ideas only matter if people understand them.
