Can you invent something to make somebody smile when they’re feeling poorly?
Kids Invent Stuff has teamed up with Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, supported by the NIHR Commercial Research Delivery Centre, to challenge young inventors to come up with brilliant ideas that help cheer children up.
Your invention could make hospital visits more fun, help kids feel calmer when they’re worried, or turn waiting for an appointment into something exciting. There are no limits – just big ideas and lots of creativity.
One winning invention will be built for real by the Kids Invent Stuff team and put on display in the brand-new Discovery Den at the National Centre for Child Health Technology, opening next year.
Grab some paper and pencils, get inventing, and send us your idea before the end of February.
