Our first mission was to set up the Pierce School Hot Shot Inventors' Laboratory. Joe and Alex get to work building parts.
|
|
Stefan, Sam, Josef and Tom show off their gear train. This mechanism raises their friendly spider by the doorway to greet visitors. |
|
Jake and Vikram designed a brainstorm helmet. It squeezes out good ideas. Jake is wearing a proper Build-It-Yourself ID Badge. |
|
Grace, Emily and Rebecca are designing an official shingle for the Pierce Laboratory. A series of mechanical mechanisms make the letters shake, rattle and roll! |
|
The letters are made from high quality junk. The result ... a shingle that will let the world know the Pierce School inventors are open for business!
|
|
The first project ... machines
that earn $$$$.
Ben shows off an invention that he and Russell built. For 25 cents, it will answer your questions and, if you're lucky, unload candy. |

This hot shot team (Grace, Rebecca and Emily) introduces its invention to set the economy straight. For 25 cents it tells your fortune while the fortune tellers (made from nuts and wine corks) dance. Next stop ... patent office! |
Big shots, Jay, Daniel, Michael and Will show off their solution to the challenge of building a dragon that can make friends. It rumbles around looking for mates, opens it's mouth to say, "Hey There" and then extends a long arm to offer candy. | |
Vikram, Joe and Alex built a solution to the dragon challenge that catapults candy to other friendly dragons. | |
Josef and Tom work with Naseem to build a dragon that makes friends by offering candy from a conveyor belt. | |
Josef and Stefan prove that two heads are better than one! |
