The Invention Convention

During our unit on inventions, my students had to become inventors. They thought deeply to come up with ideas that haven't already been invented and to solve problems that they see in the world around them. Each student had to write a patent, create a model of their idea, write a paragraph about how it works and why people would want to buy it, and then present it to the class.

Paola invented a battery powered iron






Hanna invented the All Food Maker. Just put your ingredients in the top, type in what you're making, and it comes out mixed and cooked out of the front.










Andrea invented the Skittle Machine. It gives out 12 skittles to each of your friends.







Gustavo made the Economical Back Scratcher. Just pull a string and get your back scratched. No batteries needed.









Santiago invented a Dog Trainer. It gives 5 spanks to your dog every second.










Spencer invents the Light your Path Slippers. No more bumps and bruises when you get up in the night.
