Cool-It Competition
This Saturday we had our Cool It Competition. I felt really confident in the panel room this year! We had 15 minutes to present what we have done the past year and what we are doing and then the judges had 5 min to ask us questions. I think we all did good overall. We all answered at least two questions (unlike last year when Cassie answered all of the questions).
The only one thing I think that we could've done better is documenting everything we completed so far. Many of the other teams were able to document what they did by the number of clean energy sign-ups. light bulbs habded out and so on. I think not being in a school setting where we had access to a set population made this more difficult for us.
We did not win first place ,which was kind of dissapointing, but we did win $1000 dollars for Innovation. Overall I think this was a good experience for all of us and we are getting our show on the road with three performances booked in the next few weeks!

This week we've been preparing for our cool it competition this saturday. We have some one recording our theatrical presentation which were going to show in the pannel room.
We've been waiting and preparing for this saturay for a whole year. Every time i think about it i feel little buterflies go through my stomache but at the same time i feel like we really prepared, and that we have accomplished alot in the year.
We're also going to be putting our video up on youtube. The video is basically divided up into three things: carbon footprint, conscious consumerism, and conserv ation.
We originally had a long power point but had to water it down because not everyone could understand it. So we made it more interesting by adding acting, and props. The kids allready seemed to enjoy it more!
So thats it for this week! I will let you know how the cool it competition goes.

CT Cool- It Challenge
My sibblings and I have our Cool It Competition coming up in a couple of weeks! The Cool It competition is the orginial motivation behing Living the Green Dream. Teaching other kids about climate change and acivism was our solution action plan. Different kids from schools across CT are competing for the $10,000 prize.
This is both exciting and nerve racking at the same time. Last year we participated were not the top winners. This year we are determined to have a strong presence. In the panel room we're going to talk about what we accomplished this past year, who we collaborated with and future plans for our project. We will incorporate a couple of scenes from our theatrical script to demonstrate.
I feel like we are much more prepared than last year. We are more confident in our abilities to communicate with others on issues that we feel are important. I think it is a good sign that other kids are thinking like us and wanting to make a difference. Wish us luck!
