The team of ten S2 pupils, aged between 13 and 14, from Stewart’s Melville beat off competition from 29 other schools across the region to scoop the title after a series of challenges including building a garden shed and a taking part in a property development exercise, and walked away with gift vouchers plus a cheque for £300 for their school.
North Berwick High School, East Lothian and Lasswade High School, Midlothian came second and third respectively.
Teachers and lecturers from each of the schools and further education institutions involved were on hand at the event in the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh, to see the future construction stars pick up their award.
