Louie from Year 1 who entered a design competition for the Windows 8 phone. Louie had an idea for what he wished the phone could do. His design was for characters on the phone to be able to zap enemies. His artwork was sent to New York and he won the chance to have the famous artist -Dave Devries re-create his artwork and Louie’s design is now on the Windows 8 phone app (turn over to see Louie’s original design)!
