Invent Now

Credits & Description:

Precocious kids prevail in the Ad Council's new site for young inventors.
Publicis & Hal Riney complements its latest Ad Council PSAs featuring young inventors with a website that further urges kids to explore their curiosity and creativity.

The site designed by VPI and Driftlab includes a showroom that introduces us to three of the kids featured in the TV adverts. Their inventions include a karate glove, suction tires for bikes and a robotic update on Hide n' Seek. Each innovation comes with its own file of sketches and images along with a mini-game you can play to see how it actually works.

Also featured is an inventor's gallery, a section of challenges to gauge one's ingenuity as well as a tool kit for download that includes illustrations, various factoids and printable graph paper to help kick start your invention.
