CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record Students fill the Park City High School auditorium, eyes locked on the screen ahead of them. It’s silent during the film and it’s silent after as the students try to digest what they’ve just viewed. Then, the director steps up to the microphone. Not every film in the Filmmakers in the Classroom program is as thought-provoking as others, but each of the films leaves some kind of impression on the students during the Sundance Film Festival. The program, which is put together by a combined effort from the Park City Institute and the Sundance Institute, introduces high school and Treasure Mountain Junior High students to Sundance films and filmmakers. Teachers of all subjects sign up for a short film for their students to watch and, after the viewing, someone involved with the film speaks with the students during a question-and-answer session.

Eighth-grader brings science fair project to public for feedback CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record Emma Greally wants to change the world, and based on her track record, few doubt her ability to do so. As a fifth-grader, the Park City student created a bike that generates electricity. Now that she is in eighth grade, she is touring her updated project around the state. She has been to The Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake City and the People’s Health Clinic and the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse in Park City to show individuals how they can pedal a bike and create enough energy to charge a cell phone. Greally, who now attends Rowland Hall in Salt Lake City, came up with the idea to create clean energy while promoting a healthy lifestyle a few years ago. Since she had done science fair projects since second grade, she was searching for an idea. Part of her inspiration came from her brother, who completed a science fair project about the dangers of greenhouse gases. “I thought that maybe I could do something along the lines of clean energy,” she said. Then, one day, she saw her teacher biking to school, and Greally’s mother commented about how incredible it would be to harness her energy. “Then I got the idea that people could create their own clean energy by just pedaling on a bicycle,” she said.
