Firm will throw £10,000 to the designer of the best tech product idea – plus another £10,000 grand to his or her university
Dyson wants to make the gadget of your dreams
Dyson will hand over £10,000 to the uni student with the best idea for a tech product, and a further £10,000 to his or her university.
Called the James Dyson Awards, the competition is after innovative techy ways to solve problems.
Previous winners include the AirDrop, which is a design to better hydrate plants in very arid conditions, the Longreach, which shoots a buoyancy aid out like a grenade launcher, and an Automist – a kitchen tap attachment that will fight fires.
James Dyson said: “Put faith in frustrations and solve the problems that cause them. We’re looking for the people who rather than accept a problem and make do, design a simple and effective solution.”
He added, “The James Dyson Award champions the ideas of young designers and engineers – encouraging them to develop inventions, defy their critics, and turn them into commercial successes for themselves and their economy.”
There’s still a week to get your designs in if you think you have the next wonder gizmo up your sleeve.
We're working to fix the problem right now and will have it working as soon as possible
