Challenge Winners
First Place Winner - $1,000
Annapolis West Education Centre, Grades 6,7,8Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia
Science club students from Annapolis West Education Centre took renewable energy into their own hands by building 4 wind turbines and an electric-powered hovercraft. Recognizing that their school is located in a windy region, they saw wind power as a practical solution to reducing fossil fuel reliance. The students demonstrated that even at a small scale, their prototype turbines could generate enough electricity to power LED lights. The process was no small feat! It involved careful planning and the use of strong magnets to produce electricity efficiently.
The team also built an electric hovercraft to show how school buses could also transition to cleaner energy sources. To share their work and inspire others, they entered their project into a local teen Instagram Film Fest, spreading awareness of renewable energy solutions across their community.

Unionville High School (Fourth Dimensioners Class), Grade 11Markham, Ontario
The Forth Dimensioners at Unionville High School created 14 prototypes of renewable energy. These students did extensive research on renewable energy sources.The students explored hands on learning by creating working models using wind, solar, hydro, mechanical, and bioenergy sources. The students shared their learnings with a physics fair and were able to show the science behind renewable energy with over 400 students and staff.

Third Place Winner - $250
Bonnyville Centralized High School, Grade 9 Bonnyville, Alberta
Grade 9 students at Bonnyville Centralized High School designed and built a prototype water purification system, exploring how solar energy can be used to make water safe for use. As part of their hands-on learning, the students conducted experiments using various types of solar ovens in different weather conditions to determine the most effective setup. Throughout the project, they gained valuable insights into the benefits of renewable energy and proudly shared their findings through the school newsletter and on social media.

Re-Energy In Action
Celebrating the many different ways learners and educators from across Canada were engaged in creating renewable energy models through GreenLearning's Re-Energy Program.
Learners Participated in a Classroom Workshop or Event
Educators Participated in Professional Development
Student and Teacher Sessions Delivered
ReEnergized Workshop
Over the school year, we delivered a series of virtual "ReEnergized" workshops to bring clean energy learning to students in grades 3-12. These 45-minute sessions explored clean energy in Canada, highlighted current initiatives, and gave students a chance to think critically about real world issues. In an interactive segment, students were given the role of a Clean Energy Council for a fictional town. Faced with challenges like poor air quality, inefficient heating systems, and traffic-related concerns, students had to come up with creative and sustainable energy solutions.
In another engaging segment of the workshop, students designed their own electric vehicles- choosing the type of vehicle to convert, identifying its post-conversion purpose, and thinking through potential barriers.
On International Day of Clean Energy, we celebrated with a special edition of the workshop, welcoming over 100 attendees for a live session packed with great discussions and activities.

GreenLearning facilitated curriculum-connected classroom workshops that engaged and inspired students from across Canada to think creatively about various renewable energy sources. Check out the workshop recording here!
"It was fun and informative. The questions directed towards the students really draw them in and help them feel involved in the learning. Everyone wanted to share their opinion/choice on a matter." -Workshop Participant
