Accu X Kids Invent Stuff: Guinness World Records Needs You!
A chance to dream big.
A bold idea, One sketch on the breakfast table. One click online.
That’s all it could take for a child’s idea to jump from fridge-door doodle to the pages of the 2027 Guinness World Records annual. Accu has teamed up with the brilliant makers behind Kids Invent Stuff to hunt for the next record-breaking invention - and we need the wildest, cleverest, most measurable ideas young minds can muster!
Want To Get Involved?
“If you're a fan of Guinness World Records then this is your chance to be part of it! Imagine your record-breaking invention being seen by millions of people around the world in the pages of the planet's best-selling annual book!”
Craig Glenday
Editor-in-Chief, Guinness World Records.
What’s the big idea?
Beat a record or invent a new one. Largest number of wheels, height of a tower, blast-off speed- if it can be counted, timed, weighed or compared, it’s in the running.
Engineers Ruth Amos and Shawn Brown will build the winning idea on YouTube. Expect sparks, discovery and a full behind-the-scenes look at the real-world engineering bringing kids ideas to life.
Guinness World Records may publish the final attempt. Imagine leafing through the world’s best-selling annual in 2027 and pointing to your name and idea!
“We love showing kids that their ideas have value. This challenge is a brilliant way to encourage imagination, engineering and a little competitive spirit.”
Ruth Amos
Co-Founder, Kids Invent Stuff.

Why Young Engineers Matter.
At Accu we believe innovation starts with curiosity. Partnering with Kids Invent Stuff lets us back the bold, imaginative first steps that eventually lead to satellites, drones and the kit our engineers build and use every day. It’s good for STEM, good for the future and frankly, good fun for everyone involved.
About the team behind the challenge.
Kids Invent Stuff has turned more than 100 children’s sketches into real machines since 2018, racking up millions of views and a stack of engineering awards.
