Springfield High School, a small school in southwestern Minnesota entered in a national contest called samsung's "Solve for Tomorrow," the student's produced a video on who scienece technology can help the enviroment. In the video the students highlighted things that the school has done to conserve energy. They are already guaranteed $50,000 for making it into the top five and they are currently at number one with tomorrow being the last day to vote. The winner of this contest will revieve $100,000 in technology and grants.

This article caught my eye because Springfield is just actually 30 min away from my hometown and this is actually where my boyfriend went to high school so I'm very familar with the school. I think it's great that a small school like this could win up to $100,000 dollars. It would be great for all schools to get new technology and grants. I think it's also great that they are teaching the students ways to conserve and teaching them good habits for the future. I really hope they do win and I will definitley give them my vote!
