Spin Master to lift the lid on its Toy Invention Programme at Play Creators Conference

A special session at this year’s Play Creators Conference will explore Spin Master’s Toy Invention Program, and its approach to teaching invention.

The Toy Invention Program – known as TIP – originally started in Israel, offered through Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art at the Department of Continuing Education and spearheaded by Spin Master’s Tal Schrieber.

It has since expanded to Ryerson University in Toronto, Doshisha University in Kyoto and London’s own Kingston University.

The talk – titled TIP Around the World – will be helmed by Spin Master’s Tal Schrieber, alongside TIP graduate Vered Shapiro and Fun-damental Invention’s Gary Pyper and Fuse’s Chantal Drenthe, both contributors to the London TIP course.

This year’s Play Creators Conference – sponsored by Hasbro – is taking place at London’s Twickenham Stadium on Tuesday, September 6th.
