Final Project-- Create Your Own Invention

Now you will use the knowledge that you have learned on the many valuable inventions from the ancient Chinese and create your own invention.  You will create EITHER a brochure detailing your new invention, or you will create the front page of a newspaper announcing your invention and present it.  You will have access to a digital camera and scanner.  When you are all done,                    and you will be sending your invention as part of an Invention Challenge.
