LONDON, UK: A team of teenage inventors have revealed a condom capable of changing colour when it comes into contact with STIs.
The prescient prophylactic has a built-in indicator that alters its colour depending on what infection it picks up. It was revealed at the TeenTech Awards in London where it won the health category.
Called the S.T.EYE, the project was the creation of Daanyaal Ali, 14, Muaz Nawaz, 13 and Chirag Shah, 14.
“We created the S.T.EYE as a new way for STI detection to help the future of the next generation,” said Daanyaal Ali, 14 from Isaan Newton Academy in Illford.
“We wanted to make something that make detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive procedures at the doctors.
“We’ve made sure we’re able to give peace of mind to users and make sure people can be even more responsible than ever before.”

The S.T.EYE was only one of the projects on display at the TeenTech awards, which showcases the inventions of students using science and technology to solve real problems in a range of different categories.
As a prize for winning the health category Daanyaal, Muaz and Chirag will be invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace in the autumn.
“We encourage students to take their ideas out of the classroom by putting them face-to-face with industry professionals, helping to open their eyes to the real potential of their ideas,” said TeenTech’s founder and CEO, Maggie Philbin.
Other inventions on show at the awards included shoes that use the energy of walking to charge devices while on the go and wi-fi hair accessories that match the colour of clothing.
Another invention called the eWaterTap is a device to be used in rural Africa to help communities manage their water systems.

Sounds interesting
before you start banging, you dip it in and if it changes the colour you chase her chapwa.
oke I welcome d@ condom with open arms dibili dibili..b4 taulaposamo ubukala kuposamo 1st ichipapa
interesting, but is it after one does the thing or changes when its just put on..???….how do you tell who has it…..just wondering maybe the colouring should be in when its the man and out if its the woman …..interesting indeed….and totally the opposite with our world here where our kids are advocating for condoms in schools so they can indulge…….
Atleast bt the ‘after service’!!!
It will be folly to put your life in the hands of this silly invention. It defeats the purpose of protection
Yawamapo waishibila calimo
Elo utubaice utu amashima kwati twaku middle east nangu tu mwenye. Tukali zoona.
Whites are so clever. Adults invent and pass on the idea to the kids and kids appear to be the originators. Pwaaaa✈✈✈✈✈✈
Kids that side of the planet are so creative 13 and 14 years old are able to come up with that something that even adults here cant even come up with but that is not necessary in Zambia am afraid what we could find.
Malapula nakwata aliba na anti virus so the moment namufishafye pandofu afwilefye ayi formata nokuyi scanner so this inversion is not effective to my horsepipe.
If before, and its the man you want to “test” for an STI do you let them masterbate in it?
Not Zambian children who just watch catoon or smoke dagga.
