We welcomed animator Anton Steenken with open arms into the Little Inventors family. He came onboard as a maker for our Climate Champions Chile! challenge, bringing three invention ideas to life.

Thought Powering the Future stopped with our challenge? Think again. We’re in schools all over South Tyneside asking students to power up once more and get inventing using wind.

When it comes to pollution, plastic is NOT fantastic. The harmful material hurts our planet and its biodiversity. So what does a child come up with when tasked with preventing plastic pollution?

Our challenges would not be what they are without the brilliantly talented makers who bring each idea to life. Meet the 6 makers who worked alongside our little inventors!

The brought to life challenge winners have been unveiled and the doors are officially open. You are cordially invited for an imaginative wander round our brand new exhibition in South Shields.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Dominic turned from founder to maker and took on an idea from an ingenious little inventor. As if going to space wasn’t thrilling enough, this invention lets you sit back and experience a fairground favourite up on Mars!

There’s not much to do sitting at home right? Wrong. If you’re eager to keep the creativity going away from school, let us inspire you with a host of artsy activities that will keep kids entertained for hours.

Chief Inventor Dominic knows all about inventing to satisfy a need but what happens when he goes beyond the necessary and into the extraordinary? Throw practicality out the window and embrace the bonkers!
