@EdinburghNapier It was delightful being involved with such a great university again this year. Thank you for the opportunity guys. All of this looks absolutely fantastic. We’re very proud of you all 😊

✏️ | Rocket boots that help with cold feet and a robot that opens your Christmas presents are just two of a number of inventions being brought to life thanks to a new creative project between #EdNapier Product Design students and pupils at Castleview Primary School.

Today we're going to join Caroline and Angela for a mini tour of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. So hop on because the train is about to leave the station! @sdrfestival To discover more about the S&D Railway Challenge visit buff.ly/uaBrMp0 buff.ly/3iKHWMa

This has to be one of our favourite makes from last year by one of our most long standing makers @lottiesmith. The Floral Turbine invented by Rosie age 9 is Lottie's fourth make for us and they just keep getting better! #lottiesmith #cardboardart #littleinventors

Last week, our Little Inventors from Preston Park went full steam ahead in our S&D Railway Challenge! 🚂💡 From inventing amazing ideas to building their own models of the iconic Locomotion 1 @sdrfestival #LittleInventors #Locomotion1

Ever had your phone run out of battery when out on a long dog walk? Well never again! Take a look at the ingenious Leash McLeashy invented by 10 yr old Lilli-Rose youtube.com/shorts/8f3vQ66… @DogsTrust @dog_rates @guidedogs

A winner of our #PoweringtheFuture challenge visited the @DoggerBankWind base to see his invention realised (and explore the premises of course!) Meet Harris and Hi Fish! 👉 tinyurl.com/232p62mz

So here's the brief, our Next Stop: The Future! challenge with @sdrfestival will get children inventing something fun, clever, or unusual that can travel on or make use of train tracks! 🚂 Find out more and join in at sdr200.littleinventors.org.

How much do you know about the Stockton & Darlington Railway? You're about to learn a whole lot more...it's here! Our challenge with @sdrfestival, Next Stop: The Future! 🚂 Stay tuned to find out just what we’re asking participating children to invent…🤔 sdr200.littleinventors.org

The Tallhouse was invented for homes where flooding is common. 9-year-old Lily invented a mechanism whereby the whole house and garden rises up to 20 feet in the air and is covered by a protective dome. This idea was a winner of our MISD: Born to Invent challenge! @Team_PTI

We could all use some extra zen this time of year... The Raz (Relax and Zen) was invented by Delilah, age 10. It calms babies and helps them sleep. It plays relaxing sounds, has a gentle hand and even a bottle warmer! Delilah was a winner of our MISD: Born to Invent challenge.

Our new challenge is sure to broaden your horizons! Making Waves: Inventing for a better ocean is being delivered to children in South Tyneside, in partnership with @DoggerBankWind and @STyne_Council. Dive in and read more below! #STEM 🌊 southtyneside.littleinventors.org/challenges/mak…

Six incredible makers are bringing to life the ideas of our #PoweringtheFuture challenge winners! @DoggerBankWind @STyne_Council 👋 Meet them all: littleinventors.org/press/the-six-…

Sun Aqua, invented by 12-year-old Arianna and Meghan, utilises solar energy to heat and purify water, promoting the use of #renewableenergy and providing access to clean and hot water, especially in areas where it is scarce. We brought it to life with @OCAD student Edgar Du!

One of the fantastic winners of our #PoweringtheFuture challenge! How gorgeous is this design?! 🤩

Dogs. We love 'em. Plants. We love 'em! 'Collar-árbol', invented by Diego, age 10 from Chile, was a winner of our Climate Champions Chile! challenge. It enables you to plant seeds whilst your dog is out on a run. Efficient! We brought it to life with product designer Marcos.

Finally, a composter that minimises waste, nourishes nature and looks beautiful too! Invented by Kyle and Jaden, both 12 from Canada, Compost Table was a winner of our Sustainable Development Goals #STEM challenge. We brought it to life as a 3D render with maker Craig Fox 🌱

Creating real toys from kid’s drawings 🐱 Liepa, aged 8, who designed this toy with @IKEA: 'I love cats and this one is blue, the colour of dreams. A mischievous, happy friend who's interested in everything'.
