Design It! Creations from last week’s exhibition in Sheffield Winter Gardens

Last week’s exhibition in the Winter Gardens attracted 4384 visitors – here are a couple of great ideas that came  from the Design It! activity:

The first design is by Trinity Cavanagh, aged 5, which is soft and light and features voice recognition and helps you reach up high and also do high fives.

The second is Barnaby Cavanagh’s Batman hand (aged 3). This hand has got rubber bits on the fingers to help hold things, a Batman cape to help you fly and a button to provide grass for horses. It also turns into a boat and keeps you dry in the rain.
