Victoria University students Chamonix Stuart & Hannah Tilsley have designed a system to help prevent drownings in rip currents. It's a floating buoy which can detect a rip current, and change colour depending on the danger to warn swimmers. They've made it to the top 20 of the 2019 James Dyson Design Award, beating out over 1,000 designs from 27 countries.
