Young Inspiration
Across the UK, young people from everyday backgrounds, some living in busy cities, some in small flats, some in areas where money is tight already thinking like inventors and problem-solvers.
The real-life lessons we learn from these young inventors and innovators are powerful:
-
Your background doesn’t define your future. Brilliant ideas can come from anywhere.
-
Small ideas can become big changes. Even simple inventions can make life better for many people.
-
Caring about others is a superpower. Many young inventors want to help family, friends, or their community.
-
Being brave and persistent matters. Innovation takes courage and the willingness to keep trying.
-
These young Imagineers prove that anyone can invent, create, and make a difference—no matter where they come from. That’s what being a Fearless Imagineer is all about.
What problem will YOU solve next?
Gitanjali Rao
Gitanjali Rao was born in 2005 in Lone Tree, Colorado, USA. She grew up in a supportive family that encouraged her curiosity and love of science. Her parents, who both work in technology fields, helped her explore science experiments and creative projects from a young age.
When she was just 10, Gitanjali became interested in solving the problem of unsafe drinking water after hearing about the Flint water crisis in Michigan. She invented a device called Tethys, which uses special sensors and connects to a smartphone app to quickly detect lead in water. Her invention won her the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017.
Gitanjali has also worked on projects to detect cyberbullying and early signs of opioid addiction. In 2020, she was named TIME Magazine’s Kid of the Year, becoming the first person ever to receive that title. Gitanjali believes every young person has the power to create change and uses her voice to inspire kids around the world to become innovators and problem-solvers.
Alina Morse
Alina Morse was born in 2005 in Michigan, USA, and grew up in a regular family where healthy living was important. Her dad worked in banking, and her mom helped manage her growing business later on. Alina loved sweets but was also aware that candy could be bad for her teeth.
When she was 7 years old, she wondered why candy couldn’t be both tasty and healthy. With help from her dad, Alina began experimenting with recipes in her kitchen. She created Zollipops, sugar-free lollipops made with ingredients that help protect teeth from cavities.
Alina started selling Zollipops online and then in big stores like Walmart and Whole Foods. She even became the youngest person ever to pitch a product at the White House! Alina’s company has earned millions of dollars, and she donates part of her profits to support dental health education in schools.
She shows that no matter how young you are, you can start a business and make a difference in the world.
Ben Towers
Ben grew up in Kent, UK, in a family without special business connections or wealth. At just 11 years old, he taught himself how to build websites on his bedroom computer. By 16, he’d launched his own digital marketing company, working with big-name clients and employing adults much older than him! Ben proved that even if you start small, you can grow something huge with talent and determination. Today, he travels across the UK helping other young people believe that age is no barrier to becoming an entrepreneur.
Kiera (10)
Kiera lives in a busy part of Manchester where lots of families don’t have much extra money. Her mum works long hours, and sometimes Kiera helps look after her younger brother. Even though life can feel a bit stressful, Kiera loves science and solving problems.
At school, she noticed many kids throwing away plastic bottles every day because they forgot reusable ones. Kiera designed a reusable bottle holder that clips onto a school bag and reminds kids to refill it instead of throwing bottles away. Her idea won a prize at the school eco-fair.
Kiera says:
“Even if you don’t have loads of money or fancy stuff, your ideas can help the world. I want to show that kids like me can be inventors too!”
Samir (11)
Samir lives in a high-rise flat in Birmingham where the streets often flood during heavy rain because drains get blocked with rubbish. His family sometimes struggles with money, and there aren’t many parks or gardens where he lives. But Samir loves engineering and fixing things.
In his school STEM club, he designed a simple rainwater drain filter made from recycled materials to stop rubbish from blocking drains. His teachers were so impressed, they shared his idea with the local council!
Samir says:
“Engineers solve problems, and I want to be one so I can help my neighbourhood. Just because you live somewhere people say is rough doesn’t mean you can’t change things.”
Layla (9)
Layla grew up in a flat in London with her mum and younger brother, who has autism. Sometimes money is tight, and busy city life can feel noisy and overwhelming. Layla noticed how her brother gets scared of loud sounds in shops and crowded places.
So she invented a prototype called “Quiet Ears,” soft headphone covers that help reduce noise without blocking everything out. Layla wants to keep working on her idea so it can help more children who are sensitive to sound.
Layla says:
“Sometimes I feel worried too, so I want to invent things that help people feel calm and safe. Even kids can make inventions that change someone’s life.”
Callum (10)
Callum lives in Glasgow with his dad, who works long hours as a delivery driver. Money can be tight, so Callum doesn’t always have the latest sports gear. But he loves football and technology.
He came up with an idea for smart football boots with sensors to measure how hard he kicks the ball and help players practise their skills. His teacher encouraged him to share his sketches at a local Young Inventors competition.
Callum says:
“I might not have the best boots or kit right now, but my ideas might help make football better for everyone. I want kids like me to know we can invent things that people all over the world could use.”
