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.

I use satellite imagery to make cool pictures of our planet, not just because it is beautiful but also it's very useful. It helps monitor the Climate Change impacts, follow icebergs and ships from space, look at the health of our crops and even estimate potato fields or even how much is grown all over Canada, and much much more! Beside my passion for Space, I make pottery. I have a small workshop at home, which helps develop my creativity.
