3G Inventors

Today 3G students brainstormed everyday products that could use improving. Students began designing inventive solutions to products like the pencil grip, the paper napkin, and the infamous Capri Sun juice pack. Ask your child about their impending invention!

"Necessity is the mother of invention." -Plato

Today, the 3K inventors identified design problems they encounter in their lives such as tree limbs that are too high to climb, clothing that easily falls off hangers, and Lego pieces that get stuck together and can't be pried apart. Next, each student began to create a design solution or invention to solve his or her individual problem. After Thanksgiving break we will be in full gear, racing toward the Invention Convention!
