https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv National Inventors’ Day honors inventors of the past, the creators of the present, and encourages the architects of the future. On February 11th, National Inventors’ Day celebrates the genius behind design. It also dives into the history behind some of our most unusual inventions. What do Ermal Fraze, Thomas Adams, Melitta Bentz, Patricia Beth, and Stephen Perry all have in common? They are recognized annually on February 11th, along with the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, and Elisha Otis. Thanks to inventors, we can safely ride in an elevator, have a well-lit room at the flip of a switch, speak to someone on the other side of the world or efficiently pump lotion from a bottle. Many inventors go their whole life without recognition for their creations, while others are household names. Nearly everything around us results from someone tinkering in their garage, laboratory, or basement trying to find a solution to a problem. Some inventions may be happy accidents by an observant person; the microwave oven, penicillin, sticky notes, and bubble wrap may never have made their way into their current use if it were not for sharp or persistent inventors. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” The proverb “Necessity is the mother of invention” says a lot about how inventors look at life. They are a progressive, forward-thinking bunch. Where would we be without pacemakers, traffic signals, rubber bands, or coffee filters? Though there are some inventions that we may be better off without. A DVD re-winder doesn’t quite fit the necessary criteria. Or, they are otherwise too impractical. For example, tugging around a stroller fridge for your watermelon along with the cooler and beach umbrella seems to be a bit of overkill. Still, without inventors, the world would be downright dull and much more challenging. IF YOU COULD INVENT ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? en-us 2021-02-11 12:21:35 UTC 2021-06-07 20:27:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193509479 It would be an umbrella car. You are in a tube that is not to small that has an umbrella over it (it is clear) and you only need to use a joystick to control it. It also has a remote control that can put a black thing over the clear that you can see through but the people outside can't. ]]> 2021-02-11 17:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193509479 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193510465 I would invent something that could translate what our pets are trying to tell us so we could know if they're hungry thirsty bored or if something is wrong for example if something hurts them.]]> 2021-02-11 17:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193510465 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193510608 I would invent an eraser for paint. i LOVE to paint but i make mistakes a lot, and it's hard to fix mistakes because you have to match the color perfectly.]]> 2021-02-11 17:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193510608 elizabethl151 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511071 2021-02-11 17:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511071 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511097 I would invent a money machine so that I could give the money to the people in need.]]> 2021-02-11 17:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511097 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511670 I would invent a bed that has a secret tunnel underneath and a getaway car in side the tunnel.]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193511670 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193512839 I could invent a time machine.]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193512839 roelr1 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193513177 Time machine]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193513177 allysong12 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193513674 If I could invent anything, I would invent like a portal you can go to travel to different universes.]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193513674 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193514213 I could invent a space pod that has everything u need and u can explore new galaxies with that space pod!✨💫]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193514213 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193514341 The biggest in the apartments in the world]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193514341 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193515776 I would create sap 323]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193515776 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193516625 A magic ball ]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193516625 franciscor151 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193516853 I would invent a thing that gives any super power you want ]]> 2021-02-11 17:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193516853 johnw143 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193517678 2021-02-11 17:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193517678 https://padlet.com/pjames71/s4j6pexndeywn5bv/wish/1193519250 I would invent a teleportation pad.
