Competition Brief
About
Our employer is HBCU Walking Billboard. They bring value to the community by providing students of color opportunities and scholarships to attend historically Black colleges and universities.
Problem
The problem is few students choose to attend HBCUs because of their limited information on many HBCUs and it impacts the amount of opportunities students believe they have for college and their future.
Solution
Our solution is to host an HBCU Mock Experience for students at the schools that are in partnership with HBCU Walking Billboard. This experience will take students through what it's like to be an HBCU student, life as a sorority/fraternity member, and what they can do with their education for their future careers. This experience gives more information to students about HBCUs, brings awareness, and increases the amount of choices for their future.
Audience | Target Market
The main people affected by this problem are high school students grades 9-12.
Learning Outcomes | Community Impact
Our solution would bring value by increasing opportunities for high school students and providing more information to students about schools they may have less information on.
Next Steps
To make our idea a reality, we need schools that would be interested in letting us host the HBCU mock experience for their students and volunteer speakers from HBCUs willing to help to educate students. We would also need $381 to provide food and decorations.
Reflection | Other Info
This work has increased our skills in empathy, innovation, and communication because we learned to professionally communicate with businesses and how to brainstorm ideas based on their responses.
Resource | Support Needs
We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. We will use the money to help increase our outreach to students and schools so that we can help create better opportunities for students while keeping them informed about their options.
