Support SST Students Finalists in ICIA Innovation Awards “BioWall” Project

Dear SST students, 

We’re proud to announce that Gedeon Koh (S305) and Arnab Ghosh (S301) from SST have been selected as Global Finalists in the International Creativity and Innovation Award (ICIA) 2025, under the prestigious Innovation Award category.

Their project, BioWall, is a visionary concept that transforms a simple wall into a multi-functional climate solution — capturing carbon, harvesting wind energy, repelling dirt, and reducing heat all at once, in just a single wall. Built on science, innovation, and sustainability, BioWall is a powerful response to the global climate crisis, solving mutiple UN sustainability goals such as SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), by transforming ordinary walls into intelligent, climate-responsive systems that cool cities, capture carbon, and generate clean energy.

Now, they need your support.

As part of the finals, their video and Instagram feature are live — and every like, comment, and share boosts their visibility and strengthens their presence on the international stage.

🎥 Watch, like and comment on their video:

📸 Support them on Instagram here 

Let’s rally behind our students. Your support can amplify their message, inspire global audiences, and show the world what SST innovators are capable of. Together, let’s help bring BioWall to life!
