This week we welcome Tess from St. Aidan's School on work experience. We hope she'll enjoy getting to grips with the Apollo Ensemble in our demo room and producing some resources.

Student wins big!

Earlier I told you about a student from King James's School in Knaresborough who designed a triangular bubble wall as a tabletop show-piece. Well since then he has gone on to win several awards for his design.

Charlie visited Apollo Creative many times during the design and construction of his piece in order to use our knowledge of building and customising bubble walls.

His first award came at the Engineering Inspirations event held at Yorkshire Air Museum where he won the Product Design award for Key Stage 5.

Yesterday he also won twice at the Big Bang Fair held at York Minster. As a result of winning here he gets to travel down to London to compete in the National finals. Good luck!

Student samples work experience at Apollo


This week we have had a student from a local school on work experience. A year 10 student from The Forest School, has been using his interest in art to help design a new company logo, product posters and graphics for the Apollo Ensemble software.

He produced some great paintings which we will be using with the Ensemble software as background images for two of our ready made themes, 'jungle' and 'under the sea'.

In between all his other jobs this week he managed to create a Christmas card for us, stay tuned for yours!
