Project Scenario

A company called Pacific Rim Event Specialists has come to Bellingham aware of the success of the Ski to Sea Race. This company wants to host a race similar to Bellingham’s Ski to Sea Race in the Pacific Rim, and outside the United States. 

Needing much input, the company has selected you, a team of student representatives, to serve on the Site Selection Committee.

Your task is to find the best location within the Pacific Rim region to host the race with the same legs as Bellingham’s famous Ski to Sea Race. Then, using PowerPoint, persuade the CEO’s of Pacific Rim Event Specialists to approve your selected location.

Your team of researchers will make a persuasive PowerPointNext presentation.
