Competition Brief
Welcome to the inaugural Best Weather Challenge, a dynamic pitch competition designed to ignite innovation and creativity in the realm of meteorology and climate technology.
About
We are 8th graders from Mesa who have a passion for the lack of rain our Arizona desert experiences. We are here to tell you why rain is the best weather even for places that aren't a desert.
Problem
We are answering the questions, "what type of weather is the best."
Solution
We are sharing a video that explains why it would be terrible if it never rained again.
Audience | Target Market
Environmentalists, government employees and your day to day citizens! We want everyone to see the benefits of rain and why it would be bad if it never rained again.
Learning Outcomes | Community Impact
Our environment is our future! We want people to understand how lack of rain effects our great state!
Next Steps
We need to show everyone what would happen if it never rained again!
Reflection | Other Info
We worked well together and all agreed on the most important type of weather.
Resource | Support Needs
Your donations will help us build a simulation of the benefits of rainfall to show to our elementary school neighbors.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
