I asked children to think up invention ideas then asked makers to make them real. Here's the very fun film about it. https://t.co/ce2qToIcYq

I had the pleasure of visiting Istanbul and speaking with over a thousand children at Bilfen schools about being creative and using creativity to make the world a better place. Here I popped into some classrooms to see the students great ideas.

[Bilfen Schools @BilfenSchools]

Dominic Wilcox, famous inventor, visited our 5th graders in their classrooms to evaluate and give feedback on their AD'S UP Projects. It was a pleasure for our students to host Dominic Wilcox in their classrooms.

Turn Antony Gormley’s ‘Angel of the North’ into a wind turbine was the idea by James age 9. I enjoyed bringing it to life in this model on show at @theword_uk @doggerbankwind @styneworks for @littleinventors

I find North East shop staff are more chatty and fun.
Today's Cashier: I’m deciding on going for number 4 Coff..(mumble)
Me: Coffin or coffee?
C:Coffee
Me: Sounded like you were deciding on a coffin design.
C: Well I think I'd rather be catapulted into the Tyne river
than buried.

My Stained Glass Driverless Sleeper Car of the future is in the final week of exhibition at Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. Closes 7th May. Designed in 2014 it was my concept for the future of mobility in 2059. Made with the excellent help of @mdxdem product design dept.

Artificial intelligence like ChatGPT creating songs, art, designs etc is a bit like Laminate Wood Flooring (a photo of real wood printed on plastic). For millions of purchasers/users it will be 'good enough' 'looks similar' . Others will prefer real wood flooring/human creativity

I’m in Sagrada Familia by Gaudi. Construction was due to complete 2026 but Covid delayed it a bit. Started in 1882 so no problem on the extra wait. An amazing creation to experience.

Shocked and saddened at the news that Marcus has passed away so young. He shone a spotlight on so many creative people's work. Always thankful to him for inviting me to make and exhibit my watch sculptures and stained glass car. A lovely person and a great loss.

I'm off my sofa, out of the house and in Milton Keynes to talk to 80 real live people at this creative event. I was thinking of bringing a cardboard cut out of a zoom screen I could look at the audience through to ease back in to live speaking. https://t.co/4pak21Wr9E
