- Inventions are made by inventors who produce things which have never been created before
- You can invent anything you can think of, in any area of life. You don't even have to invent physical things you can hold - you can invent new languages or music
- If you are inventing something that involves using machinery, chemicals or tools, always be careful. Wear protective clothing and make sure you get expert supervision
- Famous inventors have invented many of the things we take for granted today, including:
- The telephone (Alexander Graham Bell)
- The light bulb (Thomas Edison)
- Television (John Logie Baird)
- Cameras (George Eastman)
- It may be possible to get started in inventing at school, where you may be asked to invent things as part of design projects. If not, you can always join a local inventing club, where you will have the help and support of other members, or you can start on your own in your free time. All you need is a good imagination!
