Each team presented their ideas to a panel of 7 judges from numerous industries, as well as to attendees of the conference.
The winners were then announced at the evening gala, where Yara and the blue team won the audience-awarded prize, and Suzana and the green team won the jury’s award.
The university expressed that Yara and Suzana’s success at this international event was essential to promote the need for more sustainable practices from the youth to help reduce the effects of climate change.
