About the inventor
School information
What will this machine do?
This machine will help me or other children to access things that are difficult to catch (i.e. things that are really high)
Why was it invented?
I created this hand because I need the help of adults in order to catch something that is really high. With the help of the extended bionic hand I will have access to it.
When was it invented?

This Dream Machine idea has been elaborated as part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2021
We selected this Dream Machine idea to be part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop 2021 Campaign.
Creativity going global. We are thrilled to share that our DreamsDrop Campaign 2021 has given over 500 children the opportunity to invent and upload their dream machine drawings to our world-map of ideas. Children from all continents have joined and they are from 21 countries: Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, India, Vietnam, Turkey, Armenia
Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Poland, Canada, Usa, Mexico, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
Those hundreds and hundreds of ideas go along the spectrum of fun, solving a personal problem, to create a solution for their community and others for a global issue. That is the true power of our open-ended approach.
In total 39 ideas were selected. For those ideas, Proof-of-Concepts (scale-models) have been build by 130 Industrial Product Design Students from
- the Industrial Design Center at HOWEST University of Applied Sciences (Belgium) and
- School of Design at Technológico de Monterrey School of Architecture, Art and Design, Querétaro campus (Mexico).
In this case, college students from Mexico worked on making a digital proof-of-concept.
