BBC East Midlands visited one of our LED sabre sessions in Sileby. Above is the report they produced. We were very pleased with this article as it gave a good account of the classes and of our manufacture of the ISM Endeavour LED sabre. Despite a few Star Wars references added by the BBC it was accurate and highlighted a number of our values!
Following the visit we were contacted by many interested people including an international media company. As a result the story appeared in a number of publications; we have included some of the links below. The articles tended to relate more to the Star Wars films and their associated lightsabers. Both StarWars and lightsabres are trademarks of Disney and Lucas films and Intergalactic Sabre Masters Ltd has no affiliation with these trademarks nor their owning organisations. We did not mention these trademarks during any of the interviews and were surprised to see some of the so-called “quotes”! However, there has been a lot of interest as the result of this exposure which has pleased us and there have been several new starters at classes as a result, particularly from the BBC piece. In addition, there have been enquiries from many organisations wishing to book team-building events, lessons and displays. These are coming from people with a wide range of physical and mental ability and their representative organisations. We are keen to ensure that the activity is open to a diverse range of participants. Watch this space for updates on up-and-coming activities. Please click on the picture to see each news article.

We visited the Loughborough Schools STEM activity which was taking place at Loughborough Grammar School which included pupils from several Loughborough schools. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and the workshops encourage pupils to design and explore a project based on these criteria. We gave a presentation on the pathway we took when designing, prototyping and manufacturing the Endeavour LED sabre. We then addressed the need to consider what activities the final product would be used for including any limitations or challenges which might need to be addressed. Finally we talked with the pupils individually and invited them to tell us about their projects and explored options that might be worth thinking about in their design stages and beyond.

Enjoyed ourselves teaching LED sabre skills to the children and adults at the Spectrum Autistic Festival this month. Warm weather on the Saturday and rain on Sunday ! Despite those challenges lots of people having a go and achieving loads. Hope to see you all next year again.
Wonder at the University of Nottingham was a fully packed day, with every one of the sessions fully booked with reserves ! Sadly we could not give everyone a go. We hope to return next year with more instructors and sabres.
