In the Classroom

Have students work in groups to brainstorm everyday problems and propose potential inventions to solve them. Using basic materials (cardboard, tape, etc.), challenge students to create a physical model of their invention. Students can present their prototypes to the class, simulating a patent pitch to highlight their invention's unique features and market potential. Students can keep an innovation journal to document their process from ideation to creation, tracking their thoughts and changes made during prototyping.
