What inspired you to make this project?
InvenTABLE began as a project for a studio class for my masters program that aimed to answer the question "How might we teach kids design thinking through invention?". After testing with kids in my network and getting feedback from professors and parents, I realized that this could be a great tool to teach engineering skills to kids as well. I knew I wanted to continue working on it after the class ended and turn it into something real. That's when I recruited Max, who has a background in engineering and toys and is a parent himself, to develop it into a real product with me.
