Who says kids can't be innovative? these five inventions were all dreamt and actualized by kids.
1.
Braille: Braille is a writing system for blind and visually impaired
people. Its a system that consists of small raised dots that can be read
with the sense of touch.
This life-changing invention was created by 15 year old Louis Braille in 1824, who lost his sight in an accident. With this writing system, the blind can read books and even computer screens.
2.
The Calculator: At the age of 18, Blaise Pascal invented the first
Mechanical Calculator named Pascaline. Though not initially accepted
because it was believed it would make people become lazy, it was later
made commercially available 200 years after its design.
3.
Ice Pop: This was an invention 'by accident'. In 1905, 11 year old
Frank Epperson left a mixing stick in a glass of powdered soda and
water. Due to the cold temperature that night, he woke up to find a
frozen pop, which he initially called 'Episcle'. After patenting
'Popcicle' in 1923, it has gone on to be a Kid's delight.
4.
The Trampoline: This gymnastic apparatus which has been incorporated
into the olympics was invented by George Nissen in 1935 alongside his
gymnastic coach. It is now also used in flight and Astronaut training
and of course. . . for recreational purposes.
5.
Ear Muffs: This simple but ear-warming piece was invented by 15-year
old Chester Greenwood. The idea came to him after he got tired of having
cold ears while ice-skating in his area. He made a wire loop and
requested his grandmom to sew fur (soft hair from some animals) on its
ends. He kept working on the model and finally obtained patent rights in
the 1870s. This piece of device was used to keep the US soldiers' ears
warm during the World War.
