The Big Bang Fair Yorkshire & Humber

Today we went to the Big Bang Fair at the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington. The event showcases the Science and Engineering projects of local secondary schools, with prizes awarded for the best in a number of categories.

Holly, on work experience with us from a school in Knaresborough, had worked with the Ensemble all week and came along to create an accessible music demo using a gamepad, sounds and lights.

The pupils picked it up really quickly and were making music with a gamepad in seconds!

Apollo Christmas Card

We're proud that this years official Apollo Christmas card was designed by Jack from The Forest School whilst he was on work experience with us in the summer. 

Student from Huddersfield joins Apollo

We'd like to welcome Andy to the Apollo team, who will be joining us for the year from the University of Huddersfield. He is currently studying on the BSc Music Technology and Audio Systems course.

Andy will be working on a number of different projects, including a software development toolkit (SDK) for the Apollo Ensemble and new foley sounds for our copyright free sound library.

New student joins Apollo for work experience

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 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!
