Weather monitoring devices play a crucial role in daily weather forecasts, but few realize the environmental cost of the e-waste they generate.

Enter a groundbreaking solution from two young Singaporean inventors that clinched the 2024 James Dyson Award for Sustainability.

Their innovation not only promises to reduce the 48 tonnes of e-waste from single-use devices but also sets a new standard in eco-friendly design.

How did they go from an idea inspired by nature to being recognized by James Dyson himself? And what’s next for this invention on the global stage?

Here's our conversation with Shane Kyi, co-inventor of airXeed Radiosonde & Eddy Teo, Senior Engineering Manager, Dyson and Judge for the James Dyson Award 2024.
