HOW CAN YOU BECOME AN INVENTOR?
Do you want to be an inventor? "But I'm just a kid," you might say. Don't worry about a little thing like age. As a kid, you have something important for an inventor—imagination. Kids always look at things in new and different ways.
So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get advice from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you make a working model called a prototype (原型) of your idea. Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea is not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you find out how to make it better. If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you find companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea so that it can protect your idea and nobody can steal it.
