Welcome to Fire the Inventor

Fire the Inventor runs practical automata workshops for schools, colleges, science centres, museums and special events. Automata workshops combine art, science and technology. Participants learn about basic mechanisms and linkages while letting their creative imaginations run riot. More details in Events.

Fire the Inventor also seeks to:

  • Encourage the hands-on practice of making, crafting, inventing, tinkering and  repairing;
  • Provide informal learning opportunities for people to learn new craft, technical and engineering skills;
  • Help people to (re)discover their creativity and potential through making, hacking and fixing things.
