At school last month Fisher participated in an Invention Convention. The kids were asked to identify a problem, then invent something to fix the problem. They had several weeks to work on this project which culminated in a day of presentations and learning about innovation and patents.
True to form, Fisher stressed himself out to no end about this project. We spent a week just brainstorming and talking about it a little each day. His frustrations came from too many great ideas and not being able to choose just one.
Here's what won out:
Problem: The kid sitting next to me has lice
Solution: Something that will keep the lice from jumping on to me
Invention: The Lolli Lice
It's simple -- a head band with removable lollipops inserted into the top. When you know you (or your seatmate) have lice, you simply unwrap a couple of Dum Dums, insert them into the Lolli Lice and voila the lice will not jump onto your friend, but rather will be lured by the sticky sweetness of the lollipop and will be stuck there until death.
Here's a video of his presentation. It's nearly four minutes long but worth the watch for the special jingle he sings at the end!
