Last time you investigated a real-world problem with real Irish data and framed it as something a program or website could help with. Today you pitch that proposal, hear what others notice, and decide what stays and what changes. By the end you will have a clear, saved justification and your one-sentence idea live on the class collection, ready for the website work ahead.

A pitch is short and clear. You have about a minute. Cover four things, in this order:

1. The problem: who it affects and where (near you, in Ireland, or both).
2. The evidence: one or two facts from the data you recorded last time, not a vague feeling.
3. The idea: what a program or website could do to help.
4. Why it matters: one sentence on why this is worth building.

Here is a short example of how the four parts sound together:

1. The problem: Families planning outdoor sports near Cork need clearer notice when heavy rain is likely on school days.
2. The evidence: Rainfall figures we recorded for term time show several wet Fridays in a row, which matches cancelled training nights.
3. The idea: A simple website could show the next few days of local rain risk and flag the better day for a fixture.
4. Why it matters: Coaches and students could plan around the data instead of finding out too late on the morning.

Present your proposal and give feedback on others.

When you listen, your job is to give one strength (something that landed well) and one question (something that still needs to be clearer or more precise). A question is more useful than a vague compliment. Write both on two short lines before you share them out loud:

• Strength: …
• Question: …

1. When it is your turn, pitch for up to one minute using the four-part shape: problem, evidence, idea, why it matters.
2. When you listen, write one strength and one question for the speaker on the two short lines above.
3. After each pitch, share the strength and the question out loud so the speaker can write them down.
4. Keep going until everyone in your group has pitched and received feedback.

By the end of the round you should have written down: the strength you were given, the question you were given, and one strength and one question you gave someone else.
