The finals of the awards featured more than 100 young innovators from schools across the country, who visited the Royal Society last month to present their ideas to a team of judges.
The challenge is open for students aged 11 to 16 to come up with ways to make life “better, simpler or easier" using technology.
Awards were handed out across a range of categories and among the winning inventions was an “e-water tap", developed by students from Park House School in Newbury.
The team has a patent pending and has already secured £50,000 investment from charity Africa Water Enterprises, which will see 100 taps installed in a number of African villages by January. The device allows the charity to monitor and fix broken taps to ensure a regular water supply is accessible.
