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.

my name is Tania and I am a graphic design student. I really like working with materials and being tactile.
I am from a very remote area of the North West Highlands near Isle of Skye but have come to Edinburgh to Study Product Design at Edinburgh Napier University. On the course, my year (first year) are working with a few third years on the "Wee Inventors" event at the uni.

I am a second year university student studying BA(Hons) Graphic Design. I enjoy making promotional posters and short clips. Weirdly, I like to manipulate type and make my own type too, depending on the project. My favorite thing to do is read manga and to watch anime in my spare time.
2nd year Editing and Post Production student. I enjoy editing videos and creating motion graphics.
