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 a group of educators that are looking for ideas from students to help people prepare for one of the most unpredictable and damaging weather events- hail storms. By understanding hail, predict it, and most importantly, help people prepare.
Problem
Hailstorms can happen without much warning, often leaving people unprepared. From dented cars to ruined crops, the damage can add up quickly. Meteorologists are working hard to improve predictions, but many places still don’t have reliable warnings in advance, and people don’t always know what to do when it happens.
Solution
- Better Prediction Tools: By working with meteorologists, we aim to help improve how we predict hailstorms so people have a better chance to prepare.
- Public Education: We want to raise awareness on how to protect yourself, your property, and your crops from hail damage.
- Hail-resistant Innovations: We're also exploring products that could better protect homes and cars from hail, like stronger building materials and more durable vehicles.
Audience | Target Market
Anyone who lives in hail-prone areas: homeowners, farmers, and even drivers. This isn’t just about protecting houses, it's about helping anyone who faces hail damage, especially in regions where hail is a frequent threat.
Learning Outcomes | Community Impact
By giving people the tools and knowledge they need to prepare for hailstorms, we can reduce the financial and emotional toll they take on communities. And if we can push for better building materials and technology, we could help prevent some of that damage from happening in the first place.
Next Steps
Gathering ideas to create better hail prediction tools.
Launch a campaign to educate the public on hailstorm safety.
