Bloodhound SSC Project
The Engineering Education Scheme – Wales operates in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering. The aim of the scheme is to encourage the best talent in our schools to take up engineering as a career, following a university degree in an engineering discipline. The mechanism for this is to organise industrial-based engineering projects for teams of talented sixth form students, which they will find both challenging and stimulating. The culmination of the project was the Awards & Presentation Day at The Celtic Manor Resort on Monday 22nd March where the schools displayed their projects. Each school was assessed and the ten category winners presented with their prizes.
The highlight of the event was the spectacle of the full size replica of the Bloodhound SSC. Wing Commander Andy Green, who will be piloting this supersonic car, was one of the guest speakers. He gave an exciting account of the Bloodhound project, and of how he hopes to break the previous land speed record by achieving 1000 miles an hour, when he gets behind the wheel in 2012!

Pencoed Students' Magazine Cover
Colorfoto recently welcomed Year 12 Media students from Ysgol Pencoed School in Bridgend. Photographers and creative artists were on hand to give camera and software tuition to the pupils to produce their own magazine covers. Jayne Slater, Head of Media at the school said, “Colorfoto’s facilities are fantastic; we simply don’t have access to this type of technology at school. The company’s photography and design experts helped create and implement the magazine concept from scratch. The pupils were amazed at what they were able to produce and Colorfoto printed the final magazine covers as posters, which we will be proudly displaying at our forthcoming inspection. The whole experience was unbelievable`’

Racing cars at the Formula 1 event
The competition, organised by Technology Alliance Wales is in its second year in South Wales, and aims to equip primary and secondary pupils with design and technology skills by designing a working model of a Formula 1 racing car. This year 20 schools mainly from Mid Glamorgan and Carmarthenshire competed at primary level and there were 8 prize winners in total. The top 2 placed teams, Ysgol Carwe, Gwendraeth and West Park, Porthcawl, respectively, received sponsorship from Corus of £500 each which will help pay for their expenses when traveling to the UK Final in Manchester in March. Colorfoto wishes them the greatest success at the event and hopes the winning UK trophy comes back to Wales!
