1st Year Business students - The Earphone Buddies - got through to the Finals of the Dublin City Students Enterprise Awards held in Dublin Castle in March. Their idea? Using Hama beads they created earphone buddies to stop them getting tangled.

In February, our group - Eva, Juno, Dino, Srijan and Conor -  got through to the Dublin City Students Enterprise Awards Final from our Mini-Company's Enterprise Trade Show. The Finals were held in Dublin Castle on Tuesday, 15th March. We go our idea of earphone buddies to stop your earphones getting tangled. They were made from Hama beads. Our prototype was made of cardboard but we discovered that it was not strong enough. We then made them using Hama beads. We were entered in the Junior Category.
