Let's Get Inventin' is a New Zealand reality series that takes young inventors (aged 10-17) and gets them to create their inventions. If successful they go into a prize pool, as well as having a chance to have their idea patented.

In Let's Get Inventin' 24 Kiwi kids with cool ideas get together with some of the greatest inventors in the country to bring their inventions to life. Rocket powered ice skates, a six legged walking car and a jet powered hover skateboard are but a few of the incredible discoveries.

And at the end of the series, the New Zealand public will choose their favourite invention which will win its own official patent prize package totalling $10,000, a trip to the UK, and a ride in the Aquada!

Hosted by Sam Britten (son of John Britten, the maverick motorcycle designer), this show matches up young inventors with experienced designers, and high profile celebrities as mentors.
