Presenter Great. So how can people enter the
competition?
Dave They need to send us a description of their
invention – whether it’s completely new or an
improvement on an old design. We want to know
what it is, how they thought of the idea and why they
think people would want to use it. They also need to
provide a very good drawing of the invention.
Presenter So they don’t need to actually make the
invention?
Dave They can if they want to. If it’s a simple idea, then
why not build it? But if you’ve designed something
difficult to make, then it’s best to just draw a plan.
Presenter Great. So what happens when people send
their designs to you?
Dave The designs will be judged by a team of five adult
inventors. There are some really famous inventors
taking part. Each adult inventor will choose the idea
that he or she likes best. They will then work on the
design with the young inventor. Cameras will film
them while they are working too. There will be a
special documentary on Channel Ten about making
the inventions.
Presenter Right. And what will happen after that?
Dave Well, then the final inventions will be made into
products. And we hope that they will become
popular, sell and make a lot of money!
Presenter So tell me, Dave. What do you think is the
best invention from the last twenty years?
