Thinking Outside the Box
If you think young people can't have an influence on the world, think again. Over the years, teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.
Take fourteen year old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2karot, a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy, and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.
Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented ICPooch when she was just twelve years old. ICPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.
Fourteen year old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video game controllers for each game console(操控器).So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be used with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money and space, and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.
