My name is Dominic See the inventor of the Thingy Flip.

I was a great sportsman as a kid, I jumped 2m in the high jump and was a 1st 15 Rugby player but I struggled at school being dyslexic and probably today I would be diagnosed as being hyperactive.

To me, I was just a kid. My confidence with school work was very low to the degree that I did not care at all about school apart from making sure I had fun.

and that's hard to do when you are so far behind the other kids in class, my grade average was Es and Fs, about as bad as you can get. And getting the cane was not fun eather.



As a boy of about 9, I learnt to juggle 3 balls. I had been trying for a few years but could never get the hang of it.

Have you Tried to Juggle its really hard.

I remember being so determined to juggle it took about 12 months but i finally did it.

Soon after all my grades went up dramatically to Cs and Ds, But the best thing was my confidence and communication grew and I was concentrating in class and I was a lot happier.

In my 20s I learned the reason I was slow at school was the right and left hand sides of my brain were not connected as well as others. And by learning to Juggle I was making pathways and connections.

When I was about 27 I remember  I wanted to invent something that was easier than Juggling to help people connect the right and left sides of the brain.

It only took me  30 years to come up with the idea.

I bought a 3D printer and I was lying in bed thinking about what to print.

I remembered wanting to invent something easier than Juggling

and I also thought about a game we used to play called Knuckles where you have 5 bone knuckles and toss them in the air to see how many you can catch.

I thought about the Brain and how it would be great to toss and catch on 5 sides of the fist.

That would be a great Brain eye hand coordination workout even better than Juggling.

Then it hit me the thought of putting a handle into a box.

A few nights later I thought about putting games onto each side of the box. Its been a long process but that’s how I came up with the Thingy Flip.
