All About Inventing

Ruth Amos is an award-winning inventor, engineer, pioneer of the movement #GirlsWithDrills, and one-half of the YouTube channel Kids Invent Stuff. She’s at Makers Central today to tell you about the channel Kids Invent Stuff, where a new invention challenge is set every month and 4-11 years olds are invited to send in their ideas as pictures and videos. Ruth and Shawn bring these weird, whacky, and wonderful ideas to life, documenting the creative process as well as the end result. She may even demo their latest creation on stage…

Amongst many other things, Ruth is author of The Inventor’s Workshop. This wonderful book is about ten inventions that changed the world – and today she can tell you about how these inventions came to life, and the people who created them.
