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.

A sculptor based in Durham Alan has a wide experience of technical theatre and has been building sets and making props for many years. He also teaches scuba diving.
I've experience as an Electrical Systems Engineer that has also set up an Escape room business using puzzles and electronics that I have created. My business is quite new but I am really liking the process of thinking up an idea, sketching it, building it and then seeing if it works how I imagined. In my spare time I also maintain and modify an old Land Rover which requires just as much ingenuity to keep it running.
