Despite the stiff competition, pint-sized Luxembourg was the big winner among the international competitors, winning first prize in the international participants category this week. 


European school student Niccolo Hurst was able to convince the judges with his force measuring helmet. 


The 16-year-old has developed a prototype helmet, which measures the force of impact in case of an accident. This is aimed at helping doctors treating patients with head injuries by providing more information about the circumstances of the accident.
