Eight student finalists competed by giving a “TED-Talk” style speech for five to seven minutes on topics surrounding sustainability.
Four judges watched the speeches and picked out the winners.
The finalists spoke in a random order by picking up little cups with the numbered place they would go.[/dsm_card]
