Description
Although designed for eight year olds, Inventions has an extraordinary history and following by all ages. It has been used at MIT to mentor high school students in physics. It has been used at U.C. Berkeley to mentor women in science. It has been used similarly at other institutions including the Fermi Lab and the University of Texas at Austin. It was rumored that a number of physicists at U.C. Berkeley were spinning the handmade motors on their desks competing to see which motor would spin the fastest! Inventions received a rave review from the Womens Society of the IEEE after using it for camp programs for elementary school students. The IEEEs review boasted, The projects actually WORK.even for large groups where individualized attention is not possible.
