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 take pride in seeing 'really cool things' that can't exist- and help argue that they should through design.
Since 1969, TARUS has been a world leader that builds custom machines for heavy industry. Starting out of a garage, TARUS pioneered many important developments in the machine tool business including key innovations in Gundrilling machines, we invented the Claymill, and we developed a Graphical User Interface 2 years before Apple in the early 1980s. We are vertically integrated, meaning we build everything from scratch in-house for our machines.
I love to dive deep into innovative ideas and help them get closer to a real product. Getting a hot coffee, turning on some music and just flow into the process of creating is one of my favorite things in life.
At HTI Cybernetics, we provide tooling and automation systems that integrate people and robotics. Our team is incredibly qualified and use innovative technologies to develop custom manufacturing solutions. With over 40 years of experience, there is no limit to what we can do, and we look forward to making the vision of a Little Inventor into a reality!
I am a recent graduate of College for Creative Studies who enjoys crafting imaginative, playful, and engaging solutions that resonate with audiences of all ages.
I love to explore ideas by drawing every possibility that comes to my mind. I also love coffee, reading, playing video games, and making stamps.
I’m currently studying Product and Transportation Design, where I get to explore how to create new and exciting ideas—and turn them into real things people can use. I’ve always been a curious person with a big interest in both art and technology. I’m originally from Mexico, and I’m passionate about designing creative solutions that make everyday life better.
One of my main goals is to design products that benefit the environment—like sustainable products and innovations that use biomaterials to reduce waste and support a healthier planet.
Ascent Aerospace creates customized manufacturing solutions for aerospace and space customers. Our Makers Team consists of engineers that bring ideas to life everyday. With a design engineer, controls engineer and simulation engineer, the combined experience and imaginations of the team are unmatched! We are excited to make this invention a reality!
Hello, my name is Emily! I am a product design student from College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. I have a background in fine arts and illustration. What drives me as a designer is helping people express their unique identities through the objects they interact with daily. Another big passion of mine is floral design, and it's a big influence on my product design work.
I'm currently a product design student at CCS. I love every bit of the design process from ideating the concepts, modeling, prototyping and presenting and final result. I love seeing my ideas come to life and growing as a designer.
