The group earned Scotland’s Junior Saltire Prize for their wave powered generator

The St Ninian’s High School team built their model and tested it out at Strathclyde University’s test tank.

Along with the medal, they received £750 for their school.

Presenting the award, Rob Orr, energy sector manager of SDS said: “They showed tremendous insight, inventiveness and imagination”.
