Kid Ventors: 35 Real Kids and Their Amazing Inventions

From Popsicles and swim fins to robots and glitter-shooting prosthetics, this nonfiction debut is full of fun and inspiring stories about real kid inventors and some of their most amazing inventions. When Remya Jose had to spend many hours washing her family’s laundry by hand, she invented a pedal powered washing machine that could finish the chore in only twenty minutes. When Tripp Phillips’s Lego creations kept falling apart, he developed a glue strong enough to hold his creations together but would wash off when he was ready to build something new. And when Fatima Al Kaabi didn’t have anyone willing to teach her about robotics, she turned to the Internet to teach herself all the skills she needed - and created multiple crowd-pleasing robots in the process. Whether it was solving daily problems, protecting the environment, helping others, or just for fun, the thirty-five kid inventors in this book each created something amazing, and proved that even the youngest people can change the world.
