\nFormer pupil Charles Joyce<\/b> who now teaches engineering at the University of Warwick has been working on a special project with some of his students, which he has shared with us.

\n” Yes, we have made the ultimate rock guitar! An unusual 3rd year project! Student, Alex Pepper<\/b>, Civil Engineering Undergraduate allowed us to feature his work.
