What if children could apply their unique way of thinking to solving the world's problems?
An organisation called The UK Domain, who specialise in supporting small business grow online. UK Domain's Future Founders campaign asked a group of children between the ages of 6 and 11 what they would invent to make the world a better place.
An illustrator then interpreted the children's drawings to help bring them to life.
From a gun sucker inner to an ocean organiser, the kids applied their creativity to a range of problems:
Nine-year-old Daisy from the UK came up with Olly the Ocean Organiser, a machine which scours the ocean for rubbish and captures it in a giant net. She writes that the machine will have solar-powered propellers, as well as "eyes to see if there is any fish not to hurt them."
Harry, six, from Australia submitted a gun 'hoover' which sucks up all the guns in the world and destroys them.
Nine-year-old Laura from the UK dreamt up a benevolent robot which looks after the elderly and makes sure their every need is met. Cody the Carer has "eyes that tell us if the person is getting ill, hands that are waterproof and can do dishes, and a mouth that talks to the old person and stops them from being lonely."
Helen Tomes, The UK Domain:
"It's fascinating to see the creative and often thoughtful way that children see the world. We wanted to give the founders of tomorrow a platform to show us what they think of the world today."
