The task was to mould a product that can be made in aluminium in the future, knowing that aluminium is strong and light, can be easily formed, and is 100-percent recyclable. Some 470 young people registered during the three days of the fair and they created a variety of different products. Suggestions ranged from mobile phones, swimsuits, bathing tub and pyramid to wind-mill, snowman heat exchanger and many more. The winners were judged on creativity and innovation, and all in all there were 15 winners during the five sessions at the fair.
