We are proud to be one of the many NZ producers to make up the 80% Made in NZ content. For the next 4 weeks we are celebrating and we've invited some of our HEIHEI friends to join us! Each weekend there'll be different shows visiting! Loads of activities, meet and greets with the stars from your favorite shows and awesome experiences put on just for you...and it's all FREE! Check it out below!

Let’s Get Inventin’ Workshop!

Luke Nola’s “Invention Workshops” were inspired by the award winning, Emmy and BAFTA nominated TV show he created. Since March 2007 Luke has been sparking children’s imaginations through these workshops all across NZ!
That’s alot of bright sparks!!

"All kids are bursting with bright ideas. To prove it, 12 on the show have their own Patents" states Luke. "We have toured over 100 schools throughout New Zealand. Meeting our fans, seeing them embrace the culture of creative thinking and innovation. Embrace S.T.E.A.M. through their own ideas."

The Invention Workshop presents an opportunity for kids to experience the process that the young inventors enjoy on the show. We have designed a program that
opens children’s eyes to the possibility of imaginative thought in business and scientific fields.

Kids will explore how to encourage the free forming of ideas, establishing a brief, exploring possibilities to create an invention concept. All kids will produce an original invention concept with the guidance of Luke and some will experience presenting their invention idea to an audience! Great practice for Dragon's Den! (kidding)
Luke and assistants will coach the kids through this fun and imaginative process. Space is limited to ensure Luke has an opportunity to support the participants along this journey. Bookings are recommended.
