On a stunningly beautiful day in London, 148 students travelled from all over the UK to showcase projects consistently described by both judges and visitors as ‘mind blowing’. Industry experts had chosen the finalists from over 1500 projects developed by young people to make life ‘better, simpler, safer or more fun’

All the finalists are ‘winners’, they take back valuable contacts, new friends and have the benefit of so much practical experience in producing an innovative product . Well done to all the finalists , you are the innovators of the future.

We had a live blog on the day and you can see lots of videos of the outstanding projects here.

Pictures from the day will be up shortly – watch this space!

Over 75 judges were involved in selecting projects for the showcase and providing feedback. This is half of them!

These are the projects selected as being the strongest in each category this year.
