FIVE young engineers from Calday Grange Grammar School achieved a top award at a special celebration and assessment day.
A scheme with Unilever Research and Development Port Sunlight, students were given a project brief to design a low-cost washing device to help people hand-wash clothes in developing countries.
It had to minimise cost, assume no mains electric power supply and use the minimum amount of water.
The team - consisting of Cameron Douglas, Sam Mills, Gokhul Ramakrishnan, Daniel Wheller and Asher Winterson - worked together to research, plan, design and evaluate a device that fulfilled this brief.
A final celebration and assessment day was completed at Liverpool University where they were told that they had produced an "excellent outcome" and the assessors thought the project report was on of the best they have seen.
The pupils will next present the project to Unilever and will be showing their project at the Regional Big Bang, celebrating science, technology, engineering and mathematic projects at Liverpool Museum in July.
