Sharjah Children Biennial Giving Kids the Power to Innovate at ‘Abu Dhabi Art’

It doesn’t take decades of life experience to have a great idea, that’s the core belief of the sixth edition of Sharjah Children Biennial (SCB), the first-of-its-kind artistic event in the UAE and the GCC region. In fact, you don’t even have to be old enough to have a driver’s license, to innovate brilliant ideas that solve real life problems. 

An eight-year-old Agatha innovated a product idea called the ‘Teddy Mama Elephant,’ during an art workshop presented by SCB at the 10thedition of Abu Dhabi Art.  The Teddy Mama Elephant can be hung on the wall in a baby’s room. It is activated when the baby begins to cry and will sing to the baby in the mother’s voice until the mother gets into the room to take care of the baby. 

Another young innovator thought of creating a robot that plays music, cleans, and give books to read. 

The sixth edition of Sharjah Children Biennial sees a first-time collaboration with Little Inventors, a global art project dedicated to fostering children’s creativity and ideas and turning them into real inventions.

Sharjah Children Biennial will host workshops at Abu Dhabi Art until 17 November, and accepts invention ideas for its 6thedition from children around the world until 30 November, through its website: www.sharjah.littleinventors.org.
