British designer and inventor Dominic Wilcox asked more than 450 children in the British cities of Sunderland and South Tyneside to think about what inventions they would like to see in the modern world. From the 600 sketches sent, the designer chose 60 inventions and turned to local manufacturers to make children's ideas a reality. Then he invited the children to give them the opportunity to explain for themselves what the function of their creations is. The manufacturers had only 4 weeks to implement the children's ideas so that they could really be used, and most importantly, to get exactly what the children wanted. The project was called "Inventors!".

Agree, it's so great when adults listen to children's ideas and take them seriously, because we never know what can come out of just one child's invention — suddenly it will be an invention that will help the whole world.
