For the third year in a row, Carman Collegiate has been selected as a recipient for the 2000 Reasons to be Safe contest from Safe Work Manitoba. Our school will receive a $2000 grant to complete a project for Safe Work Manitoba.
In the past two years, we have made a 12 minute movie about safe work on a farm. Last year we made a stop motion video about the unseen hazards at restaurants for young workers.
This year, Mr. Rivest and several of our students will be creating a video game that addresses the issues that young people will face entering the workplace. Part action, part trivia, students will review and learn skills necessary to be confident entering the work force.
With the grant, the plan is to build a powerful PC so that students will be able to make our game, and to have a computer that can handle advanced projects later in following years. Work will begin early in the new year.
