‘Smart helmet’ created by Georgian students recognized as best invention at International Exhibition in Estonia

Students of Tbilisi public school No. 175 have designed a ‘smart helmet’ for firefighters, which has been recognised as the best innovation at the Junior Achievement Eesti International Exhibition and Sale in the capital of Estonia, Tallinn.

The ‘smart helmet’ will help firefighters to emerge from smokey areas safely. It also detects fire, warns the firefighter in advance and reduces the risk of fatalities or injuries.
