The second annual I AM Green Building Awareness Challenge culminated in a well attended prize giving ceremony at the Hilton Trinidad Ballroom during TTCSI’s National Services Week 2014.

The number of submissions received this year was almost double that received in last year’s inaugural I AM competition, a testament to the growing momentum, awareness and enthusiasm amongst the secondary school students for effecting cultural change, environmental and social responsibility.

This year’s winners are listed below, with links for viewing their respective presentations.

1st Place – Debe High School.

2nd Place – Swaha Hindu College.

3rd Place – Tabaquite Secondary School.
