The video shows what the students want to do, but didn't show how well they did in the competition.

I've found some... the grand prize winner was Woodstock Soapstone

Grand Prize Decathalon winner (http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/improvement/energy-efficient/woodstock-soapstone-captures-the-wood-stove-decathlon-grand-prize-16180264)
