Prototypes and Statements of Purpose

Our students have prepared prototypes of their inventions.  They have also discussed the purpose of their inventions.  

We're posting photos of the prototypes that were in class as of May 10th.  More pictures will follow.

B & M's "B & M's Fertilizer"

Purpose: 

We really like helping in the garden.  Our invention will help plants grow faster.  It will also attract bees, which should allow the plants to pollenate faster.  We want the fertilizer to smell good.  Making the fertilizer smell good is very tough.  We are also trying to make it a liquid, so it will be easier to use.  We are experimenting with coffee grounds and banana peels.  We have a special top, which should allow you to sprinkle the fertilizer with it.  We have two versions.  The garden version looks like a ketchup bottle.  The farmer’s version is larger.  

A's "A's Burgers"

Purpose: 

I like burgers.  I want to be able to make really healthy burgers because there really are no healthy burger places in town.  I would also like to have a place that I can own.  The prototype shows the lettering for the logo of my restaurant, which took a long time to make.

M's Glove Jacket

Purpose: 

On cold days, if you have a regular jacket you might forget your gloves.  With the Glove Jacket you don’t have to remember your gloves because they will be attached to the jacket.  I also invented a sports jacket with baseball gloves.

  

J's Model Mickey Mouse

Purpose: 

My invention is a model of Mickey Mouse.  It can be a friend for kids to play with.  The gloves are made to look like Mickey’s gloves.  

K & H's Cutie Fruitie

Purpose: 

The Cutie Fruitie is a duct-taped scented and waterproof digital watch.  The purpose is to allow you to go swimming with your watch.  You can see the time when you are swimming.  After you swim, it will keep its scent and will smell nice when you get out of the pool.  Also, kids love duct tape with pictures on it.  The tape has different patterns for boys and for girls.  For the boys, we have skulls.  Girls have several different patterns.  We may also have other choices.  We are making duct tape wallets and a first aid kit, too.

M & Z's Food + Technology = Fun

Purpose: 

Our invention lets you charge your phone, see it, and use it while you eat.  You do not need to hold the phone since it is attached to your bowl.  You can also watch a movie on your phone while you eat.
