THE hi-tech talent of Newport's children was on show again at the city's fifth schools technology awards.
Newport's schools are enthusiastic about the Rotary Club event that has become firmly established in the educational calendar.
The 2003 finals were held at the civic centre with Newport's mayor councillor, Ray Truman, presenting the prizes.
Roger Escott, of the Rotary Club, said: "The high standard of entries makes the judges' task daunting, and this year was no exception".
The results were: Foundation Tier - First: Thomas Shearn, of Hartridge School, for a rotating CD/video storage unit. Second: Mark Bale, of Bettws School, for a mantel clock. Third: Katie Parsons, of Duffryn School, for a textile project.
Higher Tier - First: Simon Lewis, of St Julian's School, for a computer-controlled water heater. Second: Matthew Fife, of Bettws School, for a bath level alarm. Harriet Calvert, of Duffryn School, for a textiles project.
The club's Perpetual Trophy went to Bettws School.
