Holy Cross students are celebrating after ‘hooking’ in the judges to win the Disney Creativity Trophy at the Young Enterprise North West finals.
Twelve Year 10 Young Enterprise students, who called themselves ‘Embark’, “invented” the hook mark which they have designed and made in the technology department.
“The idea of the hook mark is a book mark, ruler and has a hole so that you can slot your glasses through,” said Embark manager Courtney.
“The book mark was developed for people who go to read a book and then realise that their glasses are somewhere else so it keeps the glasses with the book.”
The group won the Innovation and Enterprise award at the Lancashire finals at UCLAN and were also runners-up for the best company.
They were one of just three companies in the North West of England who were put forward for Barclays Technology Trophy and they went to the finals near Knutsford.
“They had to set up a trade stand, give a presentation about their company and show their use of technology,” said teacher Ms Parks who oversaw the group.
“They also had to submit a company report. We have also contacted an on-line company who specialise in bookmarks to see if they will take on the idea so it is all exciting.”
