Finally... An Idea...

Hello...
After going home, I consulted my father in terms of what I could make to help him. I was told that a lot of drivers face a certain problem: Whenever it rains, water droplets would cloud the side mirror of his car. This caused an inconvenience as he was unable to see clearly through the side mirror, which he thought could lead to major accidents if one is not careful. He also told me that it was practically impossible to wind down the window to wipe the side mirrors whenever it rains since the rain would just get into the car, creating even larger problems. I thought it was a rather good idea to invent a gadget that is able to clear the water on the side mirrors without affecting the vision of the driver.

Looking For Ideas

Hiya!
It is time for us to move around and ask around. After another unfruitful hour of discussion, it seemed that the only thing left for us to do to come up with an innovative idea is to ask around to see if any of our families' problems can be fixed by a gadget. Hopefully, it will pay to do so. At first, thinking of an idea seemed relatitively EASY... Till we tried it. They said that a writer usually suffers from a "Writers' Block" where the writer is unable to continue with writing. Guess we suffer from "Inventorz Block"...

Ideas-------Good or Bad?

Hey all...
Well, the process of brainstorming was not really as I expected... We have lots of ideas, but they were not even possible, let alone good. A lot of ideas came from my team, but they were not very good ones. For example, one of our members, Caijie, came up with ideas that were rather, how to put it, impossible. He had ideas like: A door that can only be opened on the outside, or a door that can be opened from neither sides. Since we were rather desperate, we tried to work on those ideas but it came without success, I'm afraid. We also tried to dig up some ideas from previous projects when we were younger but our efforts came to naught. I tried suggesting a toothbrush equipped with toothpaste but it seemed rather... simple. Sounds more like a project fit for when we were young. Digging up past projects are a complete no. The clock ticks with every second spent. Soon, it will be the preliminaries and we HAVE to come up with an idea soon.

Start of our Invention

Hi all!

Every year, our school organises Projects' Day competition every year. We have chosen the Inventions catergory. It's hard to think of any contraption to invent since most of the good inventions were already invented. It was not long before we decided to look through the past projects done by our seniors, hoping to get some inspiration to kickstart our project. We scoured through quite a few projects, trying to see if an even more useful gadget can be invented by combining a few gadgets together. It did not really work. We were desperate, since the preliminaries were coming soon. We brainstormed even harder that day. Yet, at the end of the day, we went home from school, with no idea what we wanted to do.
