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.

Freshly done with my mechanical engineering degree here in Montreal, I am intern at the Canadian Space Agency. I design an electro-mechanic tool for the robotics team for a future exploration deployment mission. Throughout many prototypes and challenges, my project is insane! I decided to participate in the Little Inventors project to share my passion for engineering and science.
Ravensbourne University graduate, specialising in graphic design and murals!
My name is Maddie Gordon and I'm 20 years old. I am currently studying photography at Ravensbourne University London, but am based in Surrey. My main interests include fashion, music and film photography.
As a recent graduate of Goldsmiths Design, my multidisciplinary hands-on practice ranges from furniture to film, from sculpture to set design. I have a love of the material and am always on the lookout for new ones to play with! In the final year of my degree, I spent a year making furniture from slime ( but mostly just making a mess). I love to learn new skills and make things that I think are weird or funny, or some of the amazing inventions on here!
Working from my own studio and gallery , I create a variety of unique pottery figurines and collectibles, both functional and decorative as well as throwing pots on the potter's wheel.
I love a challenge. Commissions most welcome.
