Find an invention that interests you. NO WEAPONS!!!
Research who invented it.
Research why and how they did it.
Create a presentation on the invention and inventor.
Here are the things that need to be included:

Invention- what is it? What does it do? Why was it invented? How did it change the world? Is it still used today?
Inventor- where are they from? When were they born? What were they like as a kid? What caused them to invent? Did they invent anything else?
Did anyone ever improve upon the invention? (For example, the person who created the code language to program computers has had their invention improved upon constantly and it is still changing today.)
