Do you have an idea for a dream machine?
We invite you to upload your idea(s):
1/ Invent your Dream Machine - anything goes (well..., almost), as long as you really, really want it!
2/ Make a drawing of it - it could be small or big, simple or complicated - you choose!
3/ Take a picture of your drawing, upload it, and receive your personalised MyMachine Diploma!
tip: —upload your idea in your language (it doesn't have to be English)—
A Manual for Teachers on how to upload (multiple) drawings by multiple students in your class can be found here.

➡️ sign up to our mailing list to get notified when we launch our new MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2025.
This is how it works:
You can upload the Dream Machine ideas from your students 365 days a year,
but it's only in February of each year that we do Step 3 mentioned here below.
Step 1/ Your students invent a Dream Machine, and you upload their drawing to our world map.
—use our Template to make drawings—
—use our Guidelines to organise this one to two-hour session in the classroom—

Step 2/ Each child (each upload) gets their own personalised MyMachine Diploma sent to you by e-mail.
Step 3/ Then we pick some ideas (it's not a competition, but more like 'winning the lottery') from the world map and ask university students to build a proof-of-concept. These university students make pictures and videos of their work. You'll be able to share the results with your class.
Our previous MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaigns have seen ❤️ Teachers from 30+ countries (on all continents) joining.
We have been able to pick 155 ideas so far, and
university students in Belgium (Howest University of Applied Sciences), Mexico (Monterrey Tech), and Costa Rica (Tecnólogico de Costa Rica) have created proofs-of-concept:
