“Evie absolutely cannot believe you have made her invention! I honestly think this will be a life changing moment for her confidence and inspire her for the future. Thank you so much for making kids imaginations a reality”

Claire, Parent

“My daughter (6) asks every day if you made a new video yet. She loves your stuff. I love your stuff. You inspire my daughter to draw her inventions and really critically think about how it could be made. You inspired us to build a robot. She wants to weld like Ruth. There isn’t enough of this kind of content.”

Kids Invent Stuff recently visited our school, and their KS1 workshop was a huge hit! Libby’s energy captivated the children, inspiring them to explore STEM with creativity and confidence.

A highlight was designing imaginative inventions in a fun, supportive environment. The chocolate welding workshop was especially engaging, teaching basic engineering through a delicious hands-on activity!

The session sparked curiosity, encouraged problem-solving, and left students eager to learn more. We highly recommend Kids Invent Stuff to any school looking to inspire young minds and make STEM exciting!
