Meet our Magnificent Makers
Little Inventors wants children to open their eyes to the world of invention and creativity. But beyond the invention drawings, there is a unique opportunity for children and makers, designers and artists to come together and collaborate to bring children’s imagination to life.
By taking children’s ideas seriously and presenting them in a professional manner through collaboration with skilled makers, we will help showcase children’s original ideas, perspectives and voices.
We also want to challenge the skills and experience of adult makers, and encourage them to push beyond their own limits by engaging with the highly imaginative and unhindered minds of young children.

My name is Barkai and I am a passionate Industrial Designer currently working as a toy designer and inventor in an international toy company, developing new products.
My passion for design drives me to learn about new materials, technologies, and styles. One of the things I love most is to combine two different subjects to create a new idea. Design for me is a great platform to positively impact people and make them smile.
I have been making science and space projects for the last 5 years. I especially like to make projects that mix science, arts, and music. I can code using Arduino, Micro:Bit and Python.
