Student innovators at Maynooth University (MU) showcased a diverse range of projects at 'Limitless by Design,' the Product Design and Innovation degree show, hosted by the Department of Design Innovation over the June bank holiday weekend.
The end-of-academic-year exhibition ran from May 28 to June 2 in the MU Library and featured projects from final-year students on the BSc Product Design and Innovation degree, showcasing inventions developed to address both everyday and global challenges. This year’s projects tackled a range of pressing issues, with a particular focus on health, wellbeing, agriculture and community resilience.
Using the principles of Design Thinking and user-centred research, each student explored a distinct real-world challenge. Through processes of problem definition, ideation and prototyping, they developed design solutions that were then tested and refined in real-world conditions. All products on display were original concepts developed through extensive user and market research, before being prototyped and manufactured on campus.

Ireland experienced an unusually early spell of hot weather driven by an intense heat dome that developed over western and central Europe. Temperatures rose sharply over the weekend of 23-24 May, culminating in record-breaking conditions across parts of the country.
The previous Irish May temperature record of 28.4°C, set in Ardfert, Co Kerry on 31 May 1997, was exceeded by more than 2°C. Shannon Airport recorded 30.6°C on May 26, while seven additional stations, pending verification, are believed to have surpassed the previous record, with temperatures reaching as high as 30.9°C.

Located on Leinster Street, the 4,000m² complex spans four floors and provides 116 self-contained, en-suite student rooms, supported by communal kitchens designed for social cooking and dining.

Minister James Lawless, who will officially open the new housing, said: “This is a proud day for our sector. The delivery of Teach Uí Bhuachalla is not just a milestone for Maynooth University, it marks a significant step forward in how we deliver student housing across Ireland.
