Watch the winning student videos in the “Take a Shot at Changing the World” contest

View the winning videos, created by students from Mt. Lebanon High School, Hampton High School and Peters Township Middle School, who participated in the “Take a Shot at Changing the World”  contest. The contest challenged students to create their own short videos about the crippling disease of polio. Mt. Lebanon High School’s Tyler Anderson’s piece about a young woman’s letter to her grandfather who had been afflicted with polio won the $5,000 grand prize and recognition on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation blog.

The contest was inspired by the new film “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World,” which documents how the medical team of Jonas Salk brought together the community of Pittsburgh to develop the polio vaccine.
