2024 Changemaker Challenge Pitch Day Celebratory Pizza Party

📣 Calling all BOLD Girls & Allies in grades 7-12 who are passionate about becoming changemakers! 

Come present a solution design to a pressing issue that is limiting women and girls in their everyday life. Examples include but are not limited to: body image and shaming; perfectionism and unrealistic expectations; and harmful and out-of-date gender stereotypes. We invite you to turn your passion and talent into impact and create, either with some friends or on your own, a solution design for the change you wish to see.

Changemaker Challenge: Need to know

• You will be required to pitch your solution design with your team on March 9th, 2024, in person at Microsoft Campus, Redmond, Washington or virtually* if you reside outside the Puget Sound.
• To participate, an adult sponsor (e.g., parent, guardian, teacher) must register your team no later than February 24th
• Each team must be composed of at least one individual and no more than 6 members to qualify. All team members must be 7th to 12 graders.
• The team will be required to research their target audience, and propose a solution design that will address a problem impacting young women and girls. They must explain why the solution has potential and describe the impact they expect it to have. All solutions must be a new solution or an improvement on an existing solution.
• All presented solutions will be evaluated by a panel of expert professionals.

Not only will you have the chance to make an impact, but you’ll also receive a Changemaker Challenge Certificate, plus the chance to win a prize for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to turn your passion into action.
