RACINE, Wis. (WTAQ) - 3 middle school students from Racine have won C-SPAN’s 2010 student cam documentary contest with an entry called “Got the Power.” The work focuses on the need for future clean energy and the future of nuclear power plants. 13-year-old Madison Richards says idea came from her uncle working at a nuclear power plant along with her teammates, 14-year-old Lauren Nixon and 14-year-old Samantha Knoll being interested in the subject. Meredith Rapp, C-SPAN’s Education Program Specialist, says the Racine middle schoolers beat out more than 1,000 entries, including high school students nationwide, for the grand prize.
