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.

We are a collaborative team studying interior design and fashion design from Manchester metropolitan university. We are completing a project called Unit X in which we are going to make a chosen invention and finally turn it into a fashion garment or something to be featured in an interior space for our submission.
We are a group of 5 girls called the mind readers creating mind reading goggles.

The Forges de Montréal's mission, since 2000, is to preserve and nurture the intangible cultural heritage (also called 'living heritage') of the blacksmith. Housed in a historical building, the organization is mostly run by a group of artisanal blacksmiths with a high level of expertise acquired at local, provincial, national, and international levels. Forges oversees events, workshops, demonstrations. Our craftmans create and design all with objects of passion!
In my spare time I enjoy making in many different disciplines. I particularly enjoy when I decide to make something custom to fit a particular need and I have the time to think on the design, find reasonably priced parts and work through prototypes until I have found a useable object. I find the process of making things very therapeutic.
