Current Challenge

For our latest invention challenge we’ve teamed up with the Intellectual Property Office & Aardman Animations as part of their Cracking Ideas Competition. This challenge is inspired by Wallace & Gromit’s Wrong Trousers and we’re asking kids to come up with their own ideas for trousers inventions! These could be inventions to build into trousers or crazy new trouser designs, and we’d love to see ideas that can solve problems and help make the World a better place. Feel free to be as creative as you like with your ideas – We can’t wait to see them!

You can download our invention worksheet for the challenge he r e if you’d like to use it.

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.”
