At the 2010 Youth Energy Summit, RESC:UE's Bella Vista High School team placed first in the Summit's renewable energy project competition. Competing teams came from all over Sacramento County, and even as far as Lodi. RESC:UE was ranked first in the competition after presenting their community outreach and advocacy activities, along with the SPHERE program, to a panel of judges. At the end of the competition, RESC:UE was also awarded the "People's Choice Award," which was decided by votes cast by visitors throughout the day.
