Headphone Helpers:
The reigning Junior Category
champions at national level are
'Amor' from St. Oliver Post Primary
School in Oldcastle in County
Meath. These enterprising first year
students developed a clever
modified stirrup tread for horseriding to help with foot positioning of
the horse-rider. AMOR’s product is
an attachable modified stirrup tread
that can be put on and taken off
any normal stirrup. It ensures the
foot is in the correct position and is
easy to take your foot in and out of.
In 2016 two young entrepreneurs
from Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana in
County Donegal won the
prestigious top prize in the
Intermediate Category of the
Student Enterprise Awards. Sean
Og Harrigan and Oisin Mc Laughlin
wowed the judging panel with their
bespoke hand-made wooden crafts
that included bowls, lamps,
candlesticks and cheese boards.
Luke Byrne, from Coláiste Chraobh
Abhainn in Co. Wicklow developed
a winning business idea called
Headphone Helpers – an innovative
silicone band that stops your
earphones from falling and getting
tangled.
The band has two small loops at
the end that your earphones simply
fit through and the band
comfortably rests around your neck,
thus keeping your earphones from
falling down and getting tangled.
This means that when the
earphones fall out of your ears they
only fall to a certain height.
