Five budding engineers at a Johnstone school are celebrating after being awarded prizes in a national competition.
The talented pupils at St Anthony's Primary were asked to design a creative solution to an everyday problem as part of the Primary Engineer contest.
Among the winners were Noah Slaven, six, and Jaxon O'Brien, eight, while Ailish Brennan and Olivia Stevenson, both seven, were highly commended for their efforts.
Neave Campbell, eight, was named overall winner in the Scotland West region for her design called 'super aid hearing glasses'.
The primary four pupil told The Gazette: "I was shocked and excited when I heard my name as the overall winner.
"My mum keeps showing my awards to everyone because she is so proud of me!"
Neave's design aims to help people with hearing impairments by placing hearing aids at the end of the legs of the glasses.
She said: "If people speak to you when you are wearing the glasses, what they are saying will pop up like subtitles.
"Lots of people have trouble hearing and I wanted to help them.
"I watched a video about people who made fun of someone who couldn't hear and it made me sad that anyone would make fun of someone with a disability."
Nearly 100 children at St Anthony's Primary took part in the competition, which received around 40,000 entries from across the country.
A 'drone cleaner' and 'electric groundskeeper' were among the other creative designs submitted by pupils at the school.
Lynne Scarff-McInnes, principal teacher at St Anthony's Primary, said: "We are absolutely ecstatic for the children.
"They were all delighted when they found out they had won and the other children were delighted for them as well, as were the staff.
"It's really quite an accomplishment that we had such a high level of success in our first year of entering this competition."
Lynne said staff at the school had been working hard this year to teach pupils the role of science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) subjects in everyday life.
She added: "For the competition, they had to explain why they thought their design was good, which also required using their communication and literacy skills, so it was no small undertaking.
"We are so proud of all the children at St Anthony's Primary, because every single day they excel themselves in what they do."
