A team of students has won a national innovation award for their design of smart bandages to help dogs heal.
Harrogate Ladies’ College students Sophia Lo, Smillia Meister, and India Thomas developed the project, PetMedD, to help treat chronic wounds in dogs.
The project impressed judges at the TeenTech Awards Finals in London and took home first place in the Best Research category for Years 12-13.
India Thomas said: "It was an incredible experience and we were so excited to win our final.
"Every single project there was well researched and of a high level, so to go home with the trophy is a fantastic feeling.
"I am so proud of all three teams, we put in so much effort and had incredible support from the school."
PetMedD was the only Yorkshire team to win their category at this year’s finals.
The school will be renamed Duchy College in September 2026.
