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'm an animator and model-maker based in Northumberland. I combine digital animation techniques with more traditional methods like stop motion. I enjoy sharing my skills with others - I'm an Associate Lecturer at Northumbria University and an animation mentor with TICE - introducing children to what it is like working in creative industries.

Sarah Alagroobi is an Emirati cross-disciplinary artist with a MA from the Royal College of Art, London. Her artistic practice ranges from installation art to painting as well as print-based to time-based media. Her journey explores the process of mark making, both digital and physical, are semiotic traces of the work’s narrative that transcend not only the history of the work but convey a kind of physical deliverance. It is often an articulation of surface that is dense with information as a way to communicate the relationship between technology and humanity.

As a recent graduate of Goldsmiths Design, my multidisciplinary hands-on practice ranges from furniture to film, from sculpture to set design. I have a love of the material and am always on the lookout for new ones to play with! In the final year of my degree, I spent a year making furniture from slime ( but mostly just making a mess). I love to learn new skills and make things that I think are weird or funny, or some of the amazing inventions on here!
