Why people are raving about a 19-year-old student's invention

From Afternoons, 1:24 pm on 16 September 2025

We here at Afternoons get very excited when we learn about number eight wire mentality in action .. and so we were thrilled to learn that a 19-year-old University of Canterbury student has invented a product to help people with photosensitive epilepsy.

It's so impressive, he's gone and won this year's National James Dyson Award and has taken home $11,000 NZD in prize money.
