#MyZeitgeist 2014 Winners

We asked students which events had the biggest impact on the world in 2014, and they answered. More than 1,000 students created multimedia projects on Trio and Meograph exploring the most newsworthy stories of year. It was a difficult decision, but our judges narrowed it down to the six winners below. For more great submissions, check out the Trio and Meograph finalists. From all of us at NewsHour, Google and Trio, congratulations!
