Education and Awareness Award
This award is the most generalist of all the 17 categories and recognises achievement in the areas of public community consultation, education, program marketing initiatives, major events promoting sustainable water and energy supply, production of educational resources.
To reflect the broader program areas of DEUS, the education and awareness award has been expanded from sustainable energy to include sustainable water supply.
The 2004 entries reflected the good work done across the traditional education sector and the corporate, research and government sectors. As a result of the strong competition, the judges have awarded two highly commended awards in addition to the leading award.

Fuel Cell Institute of Australia: Pilot Fuel Cell Science and Engineering Educational Program
The project is a hydrogen and fuel cell science and engineering educational pilot program with Fairvale High School in The Greater West of Sydney. With the aid of an educational fuel cell science kit, the following subjects can be used;Years 7-10 Industrial Technology: Engineering and automotive focus, Renewable and/or alternative energy sources, Design & Technology: Specific project focus, New Science: Students could engage in investigating fuel cell technologies, Years 7-12 Science Historical and current research, applications and implications of technological developments for science, society, and the environment, Module 9. 2 Stage 6 chemistry; Structure and chemistry of a dry cell or lead acid battery plus one other type of cell. Students must present the cost, practicality, and impact on society and the environment of each cell type. - Teachers can develop units of learning within their power and control, so students get the opportunity to embrace such new and emerging technologies.
