Shelby Cataldo's winning essay focused on the science of imitating plant cells and the process of photosynthesis to create energy. The four finalists' essays focused on the use of carbon nanotubes, hydrogen fuel cells, converting human and animal waste to energy, and harnessing ocean waves to create energy. In addition to the Bank of America tour with her fellow finalists, the winner received a $1,500 scholarship. The contest was part of Gault Energy & Stone's year-long 150th Anniversary celebration.
