Despite the thing feeling a bit like a hostage situation at first, we're very proud to have represented the school on air, and hope we did the project justice. Unlike at the BBC, the good people at this station stick to their word!

Highlights

Joe would have you believe that the original 'Seating Steps' were his idea, but I took this photograph on February 8th...

A trip down to North London for Arsenal-Barcelona was the perfect reward for the victory in the design competition and inspiration for the weeks ahead.

My Spanish friend Cris' intial reaction to our design ideas.

The worm.

Our engineers also deserve recognition!

Joe being 'the troll'.

War wounds.

Media update: I love Sheffield Live!

The good people at Sheffield Live will come to the site at 9am tomorrow and have offered me a slot on the radio between 12:45 and 1pm.
The headquarters is near The Moor.
Things went well with Forge Media but the BBC say they are now unsure they can fit us in. But the Star will definitely write a review and, hopefully, a preview of the event.
