Sustainable Homes Challenge: Meet Amir
My name is Amir and I was born in the city of Shiraz in Iran. I moved to Sydney in year 12 and then completed my Bachelor of Medical Science at UOW. I am currently studying a Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I think I have had an entrepreneurial mindset since I was a kid; my dad remembers when I was five and I had set up a little shop on our street selling my hand painted rocks!

Sustainable Homes Challenge: Meet Cooper
Hi, my names Cooper, I am a studying Architectural and Civil Engineer at the University of Wollongong. I come from a family who are fascinated by design with my Dad being a carpenter and Mum being an interior designer. As a result as a kid I was surrounded by design, with renovations and constructions going on all around me. That’s where I believe my passion for architecture and engineering started.
