The Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation commissioned Argyle Design to create hands-on kits to accompany the traveling exhibit Invention at Play.

ADI designed five bilingual kits that engage visitors in the invention process. Each kit includes an activity and supplies, a foldout panel highlighting real world inventions, and an instruction mat.

The kits are:

•  It’s a Material World (innovative materials)
•  Naturally Inspired (inventions inspired by the natural world)
•  Shaping Space (creating innovative spaces)
•  Soundscapes (finding inventive ways to make music and sound)
•  Now What? (solving problems with limited materials)
