In Let's Get Inventin' over seven seasons 91 Kiwi kids with ideas have been teamed up 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 some of the inventions. And at the end of the series, the New Zealand public chooses their favorite invention. 12 of which have secured official patents in the prize package totalling $10,000; a trip to the UK; and a ride in the Aquada.

The BBC produced two versions of the New Zealand Format: Whizz Whizz Bang Bang (2007) and Ed and Ouchoes Excellent Inventions (2009 - 2010) which ran for two seasons.

Season two of the NZ series was previously presented by Geoff Bell, who then moved on to co-host Sticky TV.
