Nearly 90 teams from across Missouri pitched their ideas to State leaders for how to make our government better in the first-ever Show Me Challenge competition. A panel of judges narrowed the submissions down to 11 finalists. The judges considered the pitches’ quality, practicality, and potential for impact.
Finalist teams presented their ideas to the judges in a rapid-fire setting their ideas at The Show Me Challenge Finals on January 28, 2019. Teams had five minutes to present and five minutes to take questions. Check out a video of the Show Me Challenge final competition:
