We are deeply humbled and profoundly honoured to announce a landmark event in MyMachine's history. By gracious invitation, the Royal Family has invited us to organise an expo of Dream Machines at the Royal Palace in Brussels.

This prestigious setting provides a stunning backdrop for our mission, which began with a simple idea: every child’s creativity deserves to be taken seriously.

130,000 visitors will have the unique opportunity to explore a collection of Working Prototypes of Dream Machines, invented by primary school children, designed by higher education students, and built by secondary school students.

Visitors can explore various rooms of the Palace, including the Throne Room, which features MyMachine’s expo.

This exhibition is only made possible thanks to these amazing partners: Howest, Leiedal, Streekfonds, Basse-Meuse Developpement, Bekaert, KPMG, Europal BEElite, 3motion, Vlaio, Loterie National Nationale Loterij.

The Expo will be open from 3 July to 16 August 2026. Should you wish to visit, you’ll need to act quickly, as the Royal Palace expects the 130,000 tickets to sell out fast.

You can find all the practical information, including how to buy tickets, at this link:

What an excitement! Imagine you are invited to invent your Dream Machine, and older students commit to bringing that idea to life. And after months of work, you are welcomed at Knudsen in Kristiansand for the MyMachine Norway Expo. That’s exactly what happened to these elementary school students.
At this Expo, they discover their class’s Dream Machine, plus all the other Dream Machines invented in classes at other schools. It’s such an empowering moment, to realise that your ideas matter, have been taken seriously, and have been brought to life.

This MyMachine Expo is a collaboration between Knuden, Kristiansand kommune primary schools in UiA – Universitetet i Agder and high schools in Agder County Municipality.

If you are in or around Kristiansand, we invite you to come in and discover these Dream Machines.
Thank you so much to all the involved students and educators, and MyMachine Norway’s Idunn Sem!

Creativity is going global! Earlier this year, we launched our MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2026 for Primary School Teachers worldwide. We are deeply honoured and grateful for the response we received to our annual campaign. Teachers from four continents joined with 826 students to invent their Dream Machine.

We have selected 50 Dream Machines. This is not a competition. It’s like ‘winning the lottery’. One hundred university students at Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), guided by professor Rubén Vázquez Esquivel, and Tecnológico de Costa Rica (Costa Rica), guided by professor Luis Carlos Araya-Rojas, designed a proof-of-concept for those selected ideas, such as: The Six-Armed-Hairdresser, The Popper Canner, The Swim Booster 3000, The Rain Saver, The Flower Lamp and many others.

These university students conceptualised the ideas and delivered a proof-of-concept. Follow this link to discover all the results: photos, videos, and the children’s original drawings.

Thank you so much to all educators involved and to all students for putting in so much energy, commitment, creativity and persistence to bring those Dream Machine ideas to life!

The national Czech public broadcaster, Česká Televize, produced a report on MyMachine!

When the child-inventors meet their finished Dream Machine for the first time! This is simply a priceless moment. And exactly at this moment, Česká Televize cameras captured it in a report on MyMachine Czechia. 6th-grade students from Milotice Elementary School invented a Mexican walking fan because they love summer but dislike the heat. After the design was done by university students, vocational/technical students got to work to actually build it as a Working Prototype.

How does an idea on paper become a real Dream Machine in the hands of high school students? Check out the story.

Thank you for making us so proud MyMachine Czechia!

Ah, the building phase! Primary school children in Portugal are visiting the vocational secondary schools like Queen Dona Leonor Special Education Center, in Caldas da Queen and Cenfim, which are now building the working prototypes. These visits enable them to learn about techniques, technology, and production, and to see how those technically talented high school students can actually bring their ideas to life.

And they can help build them, woodworking, a paint job, …this is how they understand hands-on that the actual building takes time and skills.

Thank you so much to all involved students and educators and our amazing team at MyMachine Portugal!
