Pupils from Deanes School, Daws Heath Road, Thundersley, are revving up for the regional heats of a national engineering contest on Thursday.
They are set to display their top projects for the Young Engineers for Britain competition at Anglia Polytechnic University's Rivermead campus in Chelmsford.
Their entries include a miniature steam engine running on compressed air, a table with a built-in chess board, and mechanical toys such as 30cm snail which a child could pull behind them and a woodpecker pecking at a tree.
