It will be the 5th year that we will be running this very successful competition which encourages secondary school (or equivalent) youngsters from local schools and colleges* to come up with innovative ideas.
In previous years we have had ideas including flashing toy boxes (to encourage young children to be tidy), a Swiss Army makeup kit, a way of opening public toilet doors without touching the handle, a sophisticated corrective writing device for disabled people, a simple way of getting the right angle for brushing your teeth, an automatic egg cleaner for poultry sheds and an amazing water-capture system for adventurous hikers.
This year the competition is supported by our Club, John Parker & Son, The Kentish Gazette, Canterbury Christchurch University and Clague Architects. Brian Dobinson, who is the main organiser, says “It’s a wonderful competition and we really enjoy reading all the entries. We strongly encourage youngsters from eligible schools and colleges* to take part and look forward to receiving lots of entries!”
