Mark Champkins Biography

Mark Champkins (born 25 April 1977), is a product designer and the London Science Museum’s first “Inventor in Residence”. Champkins successfully participated in the BBC television show, Dragons’ Den, and received investment to launch his product ideas to help pupils to concentrate at school.

In 2002, the crockery design was Awarded British Invention of the Year and featured on a number of TV science programs such as BBC Television’s Tomorrow’s World, the Discovery Channels’ ‘What’s the Big Idea’, and the CNN News.

In 2004, Champkins won a business award from NESTA and founded Concentrate Design, a company that develops products intended to help pupils to concentrate at school.

In 2007, on the Dragons Den, Champkins won investment of £100,000 from Peter Jones in return for a 40% stake in Concentrate Design.

In 2008, Champkins released a number of more tongue-in-cheek products, including a Voting Ruler, with which pupils can vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ by holding the appropriate end, coffee Mugs of Authority which allow teachers to silently communicate with their pupils phrases such as ‘Put That Down’ and ‘Stop Doing That’ as well packs of Pre-chewed Pencils.

In 2011, Champkins wrote “The Big Book of Celebrity Inventions”, published by HarperCollins, describing the inventions that prominent public figures have either patented or would love to see. These include shoes patented by Michael Jackson, a drum tuning device invented by Marlon Brando, and Tony Benn’s “Seatcase”.

In 2011, Champkins became the ‘Inventor in Residence’ at the London Science Museum. The aim of the role is to design new Science Museum branded products inspired by the Museum collection, and to promote science, design and innovation to visitors and the widest possible audience. He has created a magnetic chopping board/knife rack, levitating cutlery and an iGramo, which uses the acoustic effect of a gramophone trumpet to amplify music from mp3 players and smart phones.

In 2012, Champkins was commissioned by the Science Museum to design Stephen Hawking a 70th Birthday present. He created the “Black Hole Light” which represents the path light would take falling into a black hole. The light alludes to Hawking radiation and also makes reference to a Geissler tube, similar to a neon light, which provided clues about the existence of sub-atomic particles, arguably leading to the field of Quantum mechanics.
