Current Challenge

For our current invention challenge we’re super excited to have teamed up with the IET to celebrate their 150th Birthday! Over the years they have put together 100 inventions that changed the world and we are looking for inventions that include three of them- The bicycle, switches and wearable tech. We’re asking kids for their ideas for inventions that include one or more of those components – These could be crazy new bikes, or inventions that combine all three things, all your invention needs is to include a bike, switch or wearable tech! And as always we’ll be bringing one of these ideas to life on our YouTube channel, and there are some great prizes up for grabs too!

The closing date is the 25th June 2021 and you can download our worksheet for the challenge here. A massive THANK YOU to the Institution of Engineering and Technology for supporting this challenge – check out their IET education page for some great activities for kids of all ages.

Happy inventing!

“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.”
