Competition Brief
Invent a tool, game, or app that helps people understand the weather better. You could design a fun weather app, a new weather station, or a cool experiment!
About
Hello everyone! We are The Rain Rangers, and we’re here to prove that rain is the best weather of all! Why? Because it makes the world greener, cooler, and full of puddles to jump in! Without rain, there would be no rivers, no flowers, and no splishy-splashy fun. Rain helps farmers grow food, gives animals water to drink, and even brings the perfect cozy days for reading and hot cocoa. So get ready to hear why the best kind of weather isn’t sunshine—it’s rain! Let’s make a splash!
Problem
One major problem that rain can help solve is drought, which happens when there’s not enough water to support plants, animals, and people. Droughts can dry up rivers, kill crops, and make it hard for people to get clean drinking water. Without enough rain, farmers struggle to grow food, forests become vulnerable to wildfires, and communities may face serious water shortages.
Solution
But rain is nature’s way of restoring balance. When it falls, it replenishes lakes, rivers, and underground water supplies, helping ecosystems recover and supporting agriculture. It also cools down overheated areas, reduces the risk of wildfires, and washes pollutants out of the air, making it fresher to breathe. If we collect and store rainwater properly—through reservoirs, rain barrels, and irrigation systems—it can provide relief in dry periods and help communities prepare for future droughts. Rain isn’t just an everyday part of the weather—it’s a powerful force for life and survival!

Next Steps
Step 1: Research & Learn Before we ask people to support our project, we need to learn everything about rainwater collection and how it helps fight drought. We'll look up fun facts, watch videos, and maybe even talk to experts!
Step 2: Make a Plan We’ll decide where and how we can collect rainwater. Do we want to install rain barrels at schools? Help people set up collection systems at home? Build a small rain garden? We’ll sketch out ideas and list what we need!
Step 3: Create an Awareness Campaign We want people to get excited about rain! We’ll make posters, flyers, and maybe a short video to teach everyone why rain is amazing and how they can help.
Step 4: Raise Money To buy rain barrels and supplies, we need funds! So, we’ll plan fun fundraisers—like a rain dance challenge, a bake sale with “rain cloud” cookies, or a sponsorship campaign where businesses donate for every rainy day.
Step 5: Take Action & Celebrate Once we have the money and materials, we’ll start building our rain collection system and track how much water we save. Then we’ll celebrate with a “Rain Ranger Success Party” and show everyone the impact we made!
Reflection | Other Info
Creating this pitch came with a few unique challenges, but each one was worth tackling because it made our idea stronger and more engaging.
Challenges We Faced:
Making Rain Exciting – Since some people think of rain as gloomy or boring, we had to find ways to highlight the fun and life-giving power of rain instead of focusing on cloudy days. This meant emphasizing things like puddle-jumping, fresh air, and how rain keeps plants and animals thriving!
Simplifying a Big Problem – Drought and water shortages are serious global issues, but we needed to make them easy for fourth graders to understand. Instead of using complicated statistics, we focused on simple examples like thirsty plants, dried-up rivers, and how collecting rainwater can help people when there’s not enough to drink.
Balancing Science with Persuasion – A good pitch needs to be both educational and convincing. We had to make sure we provided real facts about rainwater collection while also making it exciting enough that people would want to support our idea.
