SaskPower CCS Challenge - Winner - Javita and Emily

Congratulations goes to creative Grade 7 students Javita Gabriel and Emily Howard from St Andrew’s School in Regina, Saskatchewan! Their CCS music video struck all the right notes with the judges of the SaskPower CCS Challenge, winning first prize for the Tier 2 small group competition.

In September 2014, 100 Grade 7 students attended the SaskPower CCS Workshop where they learned about carbon dioxide (CO2), capturing CO2, and the storage or use of CO2. The workshop took place the very same week as the grand opening of the world’s first commercial-scale CCS project on a coal-fired power plant at the Boundary Dam power station site in Estevan, Saskatchewan.

During the workshop, this two-tiered SaskPower CCS Challenge was launched:

Tier 1 – an all-class challenge to create their own video about the Boundary Dam Project and its significance for Saskatchewan and the rest of the world.

Tier 2 - a small team challenge, where small groups of students were tasked with producing a video submission that creatively explained CCS and its role in sustainability.

The SaskPower CCS Workshop featured fun and creative videos depicting experiment demonstrations from around the world. Many of the videos submitted by Regina students to the CCS Challenge took inspiration from these.

The Challenge was created by the Regina Catholic School Division with support from SaskPower, and now all the award winning films are being showcased on http://www.co2degrees.com/ as part of the CO2Degrees Education Challenge.
