Raum Energy Video

On Tuesday we visited Dr. Jesse's company Raum Energy. Our challenge now is to create a one minute video and submit the video to Dr. Jesse's staff. They will judge the best video and the winner will receive a $50 prize.

"Originality, content, and creativity will be judged. The videos must include:

-The Title must have Raum Energy and Wind in it. ie. My tour of Raum Energy's wind facility. Raum Energy Wind Turbines are the the Bomb!!!

-Videos can be funny, serious, sad, factual, statistical, apocolyptic images etc."

Thanks again to Dr. Jesse for the tour and opportunity!
