KID INVENTORS' DAY

Television. Water skis. Earmuffs (防寒耳罩). What do they have in common? All were invented by kids! 500,000 children and teens invent gadgets (小玩意) and games each year. These creations make our lives easier and more fun! WHEN IS IT?

On January 17th of each year, the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, who invented the first swim flippers to help swim faster almost 300 years ago at the age of 12.

WHY TO HOLD IT?

To help kids become future inventors.

HOW CAN YOU BECOME AN INVENTOR?

Do you want to be an inventor? "But I'm just a kid," you might say. Don't worry about a little thing like age. As a kid, you have something important for an inventor—imagination. Kids always look at things in new and different ways.

So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get advice from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you make a working model called a prototype (原型) of your idea. Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea is not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you find out how to make it better. If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you find companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea so that it can protect your idea and nobody can steal it.
