Looking For Problems To Solve
Look at your world around you. Every day there are things that frustrate us, bother us, or are just plain annoying! These are the problems that are the perfect opportunity for invention. Pay attention to your friends and family and listen closely to their complaints or frustrations. Keep note of these frustrations in your inventor's log book. Ask your friends, family, neighbours and community members what they find frustrating in their day to day world.
