The Inventors UK

WHAT WE DO

We build products and educational programs that aim to inspire a new generation of inventors. We work with programming, electronics, robotics etc.

Young people's imaginations can be so vast, they can create almost anything. Some very integral & complicated innovations, such as natural gas valves & air brakes, are the works of teenagers. Let's inspire kids to dream big, and continue looking for great solutions to problems.

At 11 yrs old, Frank Epperson invented the Popsicle (ice lolly). It was actually an accidental innovation.
He was mixing water and sugary powdered soda outside his house with a stirring stick. He forgot about it and it slept outside in the cold/found frozen the next morning.

If you love to bounce, thank George Nissen. Way back in 1930, at age 16, he invented the trampoline after watching trapeze artists drop into the safety nets beneath them. He thought it would be cooler if they could bounce out of the net instead.

In 1877, 15-year-old Chester Greenwood was tired of having cold ears when he went ice skating. So he built a wire frame and had his grandmother help sew pieces of beaver skin to it to keep his ears warm. The muffs were a hit—especially with soldiers during World War I.

On NY Eve 1922 15 yr old tinkerer Joseph-Armand Bombardier surprised his family with a Ford Model T engine & a handmade propellor mounted on runners. It travelled over 1/2 mile across snow. He continued perfecting this & by 1959, it became the 1st ultralight snowmobile - Skidoo.

Christmas trees used to be a big fire hazard, back when lit candles adorned them.

But 15-year-old Albert Sadacca helped put an end to that in 1917 by inventing less expensive strings of light bulbs to add pizazz to the holiday, without the potential for burning the house down!

Makin' Bacon, a microwave rack that cooks bacon and catches excess grease in a drip pan, was the brainchild of 8yr old Abbey Fleck. She and her dad fashioned a prototype from plastic hangers and dowel rods. 2.7m of them since sold through Walmart alone. Never too young to Invent
