#71: When the Italian Renaissance meets revolutionary electrical engineering: Callum Laurenson & EnPointe Fencing

The sport of fencing is a throw-back to medieval sword fighting, with its modern incarnation drawing from the Italian Renaissance. Fencing was an original Olympic sport in 1896, and has captivated people with its grace, daring and precision ever since. Callum Laurenson, an electrical engineer and avid fencer, began a journey in 2012 to solve a perennial problem for the sport- electrical wires. Laurenson, and co-founders Tony Grubman and Rachel Muir-Smith, have built multiple iterations of world-leading patented wireless technology for the sport they love. Today, Cal takes us inside the inventors lab, and tells us how it was done, and how EnPointe is now setting its sights on new sports to revolutionise.
