Siemens "We Can Change the World" Challenge met by Team Green Allowance - 3rd Place Award
Congratulations to Mark Keppel's //Team Green Allowance// who placed 3rd in the 2010 Siemens Challenge. Check out the award winners!

After learning that water shortage is a global issue, Team Green Allowance wanted to do a project on educating others about conserving water and power. They created a commercial that they shared with other students to teach them about conserving water and power and then visited classrooms to speak with fellow students directly. They distributed DVDs to classrooms and other schools and posted the commercial on YouTube. They also brought the DVD to the city council and passed out flyers at public events where media interviewed them on their project and expressed interest in sharing the DVD further. The team discovered that their program had a positive impact on both the school and their community, increasing awareness of the importance of conserving water and power and changing peoples' habits to help the environment.

Mark Keppel students created a public service announcement about the 2010 Census. The students were recognized at a City Council Meeting and the PSA is currently airing on the local cable channel. Our PSA gives the history and reasons to participate in the 2010 Census. As the students say, in many languages, "It's important, easy, and safe!"
