Have A Seat
Thinking about others and their needs is an essential part of inventing and innovation. Whether it’s the disabled or the elderly, or even your family member, we can make a difference in their lives by creating something that they can find useful.

Designer Furniture
Putting extra thought into designing a piece of furniture makes it not just unique but also useful for the person in mind. Who would you like to design this for and how would it make his/her life better?

The Young Entrepreneurs Camp for kids 7yrs to 15yrs

This is a 4 Day non-residential camp that will provide a creative platform for kids to turn entrepreneurs during the holidays. Invention challenges will help expand their minds to think out of the box while team effort and collaboration is required to turn a simple idea into a marketing plan or business proposal. Parents are not left out too.


There will be an Investors Fair at the end of the camp and parents will be invited to turn investor for the afternoon, going round the different booths to sample and try out the different inventions and provide objective feedback to our young entrepreneurs.
