My son's 5th grade class is having an Invention Convention next month. They are supposed to come up with an idea and present a working prototype. It has to be something that hasn't been registered with the pattent office.
We are coming up empty.
Any ideas out there in DPC land?
Thanks! |

If it's truly an unregistered invention then it should be patentable. Is the school planning to help the kids file the paperwork?
You might consider a "Rube Goldberg" type device, which "does" many things, but which accomplishes nothing ...

Outriggers for rollerblades? For stability, like training wheels? Should be doable, prototype-wise.
