Little Inventors x Falmouth University

Imaginative ideas create change.

Little Inventors is a company that encourages children to explore creativity solutions to complex issues. Our collaboration created an exhibition of ‘inventions’ from children at Mawnan CofE VA Primary School. Each child had at least one invention brought to life by one of the first year students on the Sustainable Product Design course at Falmouth University. These were displayed in an exhibition at the university campus with a private viewing for the inventors to meet their model makers.

Working with Issy Farncombe and Molly Morduch, this project involved the co-ordination of over 60 people, including 28 university students. We ran lessons with the school about three different climate issue areas: the oceans, food and health. These lessons had multiple activities all designed to jumpstart creative problem solving using Human-Centred Design approaches.
