Competition Brief

About

Our employer is the Office of Mayor Quinton Lucas. He is the Mayor of Kansas City and we work with his administrative team.

Problem

Our problem is the gun and violence epidemic in this country. More specifically, we’re trying to mitigate the violence within our region.

Solution

Our solution is encouraging the youth to raise their voices and use their experiences to contribute to the reduction of gun violence in the region.

Audience | Target Market

Everyone is affected by gun violence particularly our youth in schools. Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen tragedy within schools, public spaces, and within our own communities that have been affected by gun violence.

Learning Outcomes  |  Community Impact

It would encourage future leaders to advocate among themselves and their communities. It would make youth play a significant role within our political climate.

Next Steps

We would need to pass the ordinance, persuading City Council members, encourage youth to become involved, and encourage youth to create their own chapters in their schools.

 Reflection  |  Other Info

This work has impacted our research skills and has made us more confident in becoming involved in the legislative process. Our networks have also expanded.

Resource  |  Support Needs

We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. Organize events spreading awareness of gun control and gun violence. Open other chapters in various school districts across MO and KS.

You’ve done an excellent job with your FocusFlow pitch! Your ability to clearly articulate the problem and present a well-thought-out solution is impressive. The integration of the Pomodoro Technique with white noise is a smart approach, as it draws on proven methods to address common productivity challenges. Your detailed plan for moving the project forward, including market research, the development of an MVP, and strategic marketing efforts, shows a strong understanding of what it takes to bring an innovative product to market. I also appreciate your awareness of potential challenges, such as market differentiation and scalability, and your consideration of strategies to overcome them. Keep up the great work, and continue refining your strategy as you gather more feedback—your proactive approach is a key strength!

Your perspective is incredibly insightful! Highlighting the calendar as the greatest invention ever demonstrates remarkable depth. You've identified how it plays a crucial role in organizing our daily lives, influencing agricultural cycles, and shaping cultures worldwide. Your appreciation for such a fundamental concept truly reflects your keen awareness of how timekeeping structures our world. Keep up the great work, Evan!
