在阿尔伯塔省范围内的设计师中，Skills Canada Alberta团队选择了来自Ernest Manning高中11年级的平面设计学生Brooklyn Fee的作品作为他们2020年Cardboard Boat Race的奖牌设计。选择委员会表示他们非常喜欢这个设计，还将其制作成了一件T恤。

在设计过程中，Brooklyn受到了她之前完成的Skills运动的启发。她希望庆祝2020年，以“2020”这个数字的对称为灵感。她想要创造动感，并将水和纸板的纹理融入背景中。

“Skills Canada Alberta将成为我们省和国家在推广熟练工艺和技术职业方面的卓越典范。”

Cardboard Boat Race对阿尔伯塔省的初中和高中学生开放。学生以团队合作的方式设计和构建一艘船，使用提供的材料。“他们的‘船’不仅需要快速，还必须能够搭载乘客。”这个挑战涉及问题解决、设计、结构原理和愉快的游戏。

Brooklyn是Ernest Manning的平面设计Skills冠军，她在2019年的省级Skills竞赛中获得第六名。她继续与教师兼教练Flaherty女士和McDermott先生一起训练和完善自己的技能。在春天达到省级领奖台，赢得自己的奖牌是她的目标。

Chosen from designs from all over Alberta, the Skills Canada Alberta team selected Brooklyn Fee, a Grade 11 graphic design student from Ernest Manning High School, as the top design for their 2020 Cardboard Boat Race medals. The selection committee stated that they loved the design so much, they made the design into a tee shirt as well.

Within her design process, Brooklyn was inspired by the Skills movement, which she had previously completed. She wanted to celebrate the year 2020, taking inspiration from the symmetry of the “2020” numbers. Wanting to create movement and incorporate the texture of water and cardboard into the background. 

“Skills Canada Alberta will be a model of excellence in the promotion of skilled trade and technology careers to youth in our province and in our country.”

The Cardboard Boat Race is open to junior and senior high school students across Alberta. Working in teams they are challenged to design and construct a boat with supplied materials. “Not only does their ‘boat’ need to be quick, but it must be capable of carrying passengers as well.” This challenge is about problem-solving, design, principles of structure and to have fun.

Brooklyn is Ernest Manning’s Graphic Design Skills champion, where she competed at the 2019 Provincial Skills Competition finishing sixth overall. She continues to train and refine her skills with her teacher-coaches Ms. Flaherty and Mr. McDermott. Reaching the provincial podium in spring and winning her own medal is the goal.
