Hasta La Ideas

When last we checked in, just a couple of weeks back, there were 20 remaining finalists for this year’s James Dyson Award. But as Stephanie has learned from all those repeated viewings of The Highlander, “There can be only one.” And so there is.

The two winners will receive £10,000 and have an additional £10,000 donated to the university design program of their choosing (likely at the Royal College of London, where they’d met as students). Here’s the video they put together for their now-winning entry:
