A STUDENT has invented a device to make sure you never lose your mobile phone.

University of Brighton mechanical engineering student Prince Ansah has invented a wristband that sets off an alarm if you are ever more than ten metres away from your phone.

Prince’s invention has now been chosen as one of just ten projects from across the country in the running to win funding.

Melanie Smith, from the university’s partner college Sussex Coast in Hastings, has also been shortlisted in the Santander 60-second pitch competition.

Her idea is Story, a mini suitcase full of ideas to help children find the imaginations to help them to develop stories.
