Where Ideas Play
We cultivate a vibrant community of professionals, inventors, and artists with extensive expertise in the toy industry. By hosting toy hackathons, inventors' events, and meetups, we not only create opportunities for collaboration but also drive the development of innovative projects. These initiatives serve as a platform for our organization to engage directly with creative talents, enriching our own capabilities and expanding our horizons.
Over the years, this dynamic exchange has attracted a diverse array of local and international innovators, allowing us to stay at the forefront of industry trends while fostering meaningful partnerships.
The Incredible Machine Project
In recent years, the lab has been running a remarkable project: The Incredible Machine. This ambitious Rube Goldberg-style system is made up of interconnected boxes, each featuring a unique technological performance activated by a ball traveling through the system.
Participants were tasked with designing a creative technological mechanism to move the ball.
To help bring their ideas to life, each participant received a pre-designed box equipped with specially 3D-printed components made in the lab. These custom parts allowed them to create innovative mechanisms that seamlessly integrated into the
larger machine.
The Incredible Machine has become a platform for exploration and collaboration, with standout projects receiving development grants for further refinement.
This evolving project continues to inspire creativity and ingenuity.
