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.

I teach all types of animation at Northumbria University but I specialise in 3D animation.
I like to make photorealistic work and aim to use this in my project.
I'm an animator and model-maker based in Northumberland. I combine digital animation techniques with more traditional methods like stop motion. I enjoy sharing my skills with others - I'm an Associate Lecturer at Northumbria University and an animation mentor with TICE - introducing children to what it is like working in creative industries.
I am a motion graphic desiger and founder of Tabula, a design studio based in Bozen for visual storytelling. We mainly use digital illustration,but we like to experiment. In the past two year we ventured in the realm of virtual/augmented reality.
My name is Octavio, I'm 28 and I'm from Córdoba, Argentina.
I have a degree from Architecture College, and I've even worked as an architect for a short period of time.
Then I derived into illustration, and more precisely Concept Art, which is the field I currently work in as a freelancer.
Other than that, I like coffee on a cloudy/chilly sunday, reading my favorite book or watching a classic movie :)
Objects and inventions that have and tell story.
I am an artist and a designer based in the Netherlands and Taiwan. I am very interested in exploring people's imaginations and their socio-political impact on society, technology, and the future. I usually use my skills in industrial and interactive design to develop unique tools and experiences through which questions these imaginary figures and narratives that humans create. Aliens are one of the human imaginations that I am investigating at the moment. Besides my own project, I also love to share my skills and experiences with others and make diverse imaginations to be seen and celebrated.

I am studying Product Design at Edinburgh Napier University.
I come from Bulgaria and I love making things, as well as making people happy!
I am a middle school teacher in Ontario Canada. I want to make science and technololgy accessible for all students.
