A major Eureka moment is coming! 1989. The Berlin Wall fell, borders opened, the future beckoned, and twelve-year-old Peter van Ewijk invented… a helmet with lights. No Nobel Prize, but certainly a memorable moment. Now, decades later, walls are being erected again and borders closed. The world seems grimmer than ever. Time for an invention that really makes a difference.

After two years of in-depth research into inventors and inventions (read: a lot of Wikipedia), Peter is going to come up with something that will finally deliver us from today's chaos. Something involving a helmet… and lights.

Laughing? Certainly. Learning? Maybe. Writing world history? Absolutely.

And you? You can say later: “I was there.”
