COLUMBUS — Five high school students recently represented Ohio at the 30th Global Youth Institute, hosted by the World Food Prize Foundation, in Des Moines, Iowa. The event brought together more than 100 students from across the U.S. and other countries to tackle pressing global challenges, including food security, poverty and environmental sustainability.

The Ohio group included three students from Dublin Coffman High School in Dublin, Ohio: Zara Iqbal, a junior, and Amelie Anderson and Audrey Price, both seniors. They were joined by two students from Bio-Med Science Academy in Portage County, Ohio: Liam Basta and Sadie Hovis, both sophomores. The students were accompanied by Heidi Hisrich, a science teacher at Bio-Med Science Academy, and guided by Margo Overholt-Seckel, program manager for Ohio 4-H Workforce Development and Pathways and coordinator of the Ohio Youth Institute.
