Science Fair Awards
BC Hydro has participated in the province’s regional Science Fairs since the 1950s. Today the Power Pioneers have carried on the tradition volunteering as judges and presenters since 1999.
The Power Pioneers Award goes to a student from grades 4-12. The winning student receives a BC Hydro Power Pioneers history book, certificate and $100. The Power Pioneers are on hand at the events to recognize the student projects, judge and present the awards. The enthusiasm and excitement generated by the students, not to mention their innovation and creativity, make this a favourite annual event for the Power Pioneers.
Award criteria: Awarded to a student whose project explores how conservation, energy, safety or sustainability contribute to environmental, economic or social well-being. This award recognizes projects that show how smart energy choices can make life better for people, communities and the planet and have the power to help us imagine a cleaner, safer and brighter energy future.
