For the last Apprentice Wars Challenge the apprentices visited Caterpillar to try they hand a engineering. Using the state of the art facilities the team had to complete 3 engineering tasks including correctly connecting a electrical circuit and fitting part of a exhaust.
Today our teams were set a Marketing challenge by Real Radio to create a jingle for the breakfast show. After a quick chat about what they needed to do, the teams set about picking imaginary guests and competitions which included a sleepover with The Saturday’s and a interview with the stereophonics (The Boys) and a trip to the Maldives and a dinner date with Cheryl Cole (The girls). Next it was into the studios to pick the backing music and record vocals. To listen to the finish jingles click on the audio files below.
