# Kid-Created Hoverboards This Feasible Hoverboard Concept Was Imagined by a 16-Year-Old By Ivan Weinreb | Published 2016-11-02 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rd-kid-hoverboard References: [ryannaultcom.wordpress](https://ryannaultcom.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/humans-will-fly/) One 16-year-old kid is working on some concepts that will blow your mind; his work is impeccable, as he is creating proposals for real-life prototypes to change the way we interact with technology -- in this case, flying. There are not more than nine working hoverboards in the world and this design might be number 10. The inventor, Ryan, showed his ideas to a small group of people and now he is opening up everything for the public, no big enterprises behind this kid yet, just pure talent and creativity. Ryan´s inventions are starting to get traction, or gain altitude. This prototype would cost several thousand dollars to be created and could perhaps be the subject of a crowdfunding campaign. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Conceptual Hoverboard Prototypes:** This trend showcases a growing interest in developing realistic hoverboard prototypes. - **Youth-led Innovation:** This trend highlights the increasing influence and creativity of young inventors in the technology industry. - **Crowdfunding for Futuristic Products:** This trend demonstrates the potential for crowdfunding campaigns to support the development and production of high-cost, innovative products. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** This industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by embracing and supporting the development of conceptual hoverboard prototypes. - **Crowdfunding:** This industry can capitalize on the trend of crowdfunding for futuristic products, providing a platform for innovative projects like the hoverboard prototype. - **Youth Empowerment:** This industry can tap into the trend of youth-led innovation by creating programs and platforms that foster creativity and support young inventors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Monowheel Hoverboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-kart-hovercraft.md) - [STEM-Inspired Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-electric-skateboard.md) - [Flying Umbrella Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-umbrella.md) - [Magnetic Hovering Pen Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverpen-traverse.md) - [Luxury Electric Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arosa-hovercraft.md) - [Backpack-Adhering Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-skateboard.md) - [Two-in-One Kids Scooter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childrens-electric-scooter.md) - [Airborne Electric Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6.md)
