We run Kids Invent Stuff - the YouTube channel where 5-11-year-olds can get their inventions built and tested by real engineers.
Last month we wrote about our new invention challenge, where we invited kids to send us their ideas for inventions to make long car journeys a little more exciting.
We were sent more invention ideas than we've ever been sent before. We had ideas from across the globe, including Australia, the USA and Europe. There were some fantastic inventions and as ever it was really hard to choose which one we're going to build. But you can see some of our favourites in this video and find our which invention we'll be building:
But don't worry if you missed this challenge as we set a different invention challenge every month, so there's plenty of opportunities for kids to get their inventions built and tested.
We're stupidly excited to start building Connor’s Crazy Car Seat Contraption. We reckon his idea of having a button that raises a seat out of the car is definitely going to make journeys more exciting!

Connor’s Invention Idea
We love seeing all the invention ideas we’re sent, but now it’s time to get shopping for the car and all the other parts we’re going to need to build Connor’s invention idea. The build episode will be out on the 19th August 2017 and the test on the 26th August, so we’ll be back then to show you how we get on!
Here is a selection of the invention ideas we were sent:

Keep inventing!
