A bit of fun for a Friday, courtesy of Wallace & Gromit. The duo, in association with the Intellectual Property Office, are appealing for aspiring young inventors to get involved with a new exhibition at Science Museum.
Called "Cracking Ideas", it will be held at the London museum from 28 March, and you can visit the associated Cracking Ideas website. It features a "Get Innovative" section, which includes details about numerous and various inventions such as the Penny-Farthing bike, plasticine, denim, and aircraft.
According to the site:
Visitors will interact with all kinds of clever and quirky exhibits as they are taken on a tour of 62 West Wallaby Street, Wallace and Gromit's famous terraced home. Exhibits include innovative and patented objects from the Museum's own collection, as well as some of Wallace and Gromit's mind-boggling creations like the Tellyscope II, the Piella Propellor and the Blend-o-Matic. Wallace and Gromit will also be calling on visitors to use their ideas to help power a brand new invention of theirs, the Thinking Cap - top secret at the moment, with patent pending.We are also urged to "Have a creative brainwave":
Ideas Stations' will be located in the Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Bathroom, Workshop and Garden of the house, so visitors can jot down their own cracking ideas. There will be walls to colour on and the opportunity to solve a plasticine eco conundrum! Visitors' ideas will also be used to power the awesome, 3-metre high Thinking Cap contraption - just one of the many thought provoking Wallace and Gromit inventions at the exhibition which visitors will be invited to try out for themselves.
