Inventor's Fair

This  morning at Walker's school, his class had an Inventor's Fair.  They have been learning about inventors.  His teacher assigned each student to come up with an invention that would make their lives easier.  Walker chose to invent a Pooper Scooper so that he wouldn't have to scoop our cat Georgia's poop anymore.  It was all his idea and he pretty much decided how he wanted to make it.  He had his dad's help of course.  It ended up being pretty awesome.  He invented a head piece that you have to wear and it reads your brainwaves and when you think about scooping the poop it will automatically do it for you.  Pretty impressive.       His teacher had an inventor's fair this morning for all of the parents to come and look at the inventions.  Each kid also had to do a commercial to advertise their product.  At the fair we got to watch all of the commercial's.  Eric and I were highly impressed with his teacher and the students for all of their hard work.  At the end of the fair each child stood behind their invention and the parents walked around to ask any questions that they had about the product.  If we liked the product and  wanted to "purchase" it we had to sign a sheet.  This was such a wonderful project for the kids to do.  Below is some pictures from the fair and I took a video of Walker's commercial that I will post in another post.
