Young Whanganui inventors came up with some impressive projects for the regional science fair again this year.
Mia Perkins of Whanganui Intermediate won the biological section as well as the overall prize for her Symphonic Sewage project which earned her a prize of a bluetooth speaker donated by TCL Communications.
Emily Whittaker of TCL said the telecommunication contracting company had supported the science fair for a long time.
"I have been here for nine years and we have been donating prizes to the winners for as long as I can remember," she said.
"Some of these young people will be working in this industry in the future and developing new technologies, so it is very fitting that we support them now."
