SPOILER!!: Lisa

And what an imagination she had. Finneas found himself more and more intrigued each time he walked by her table. It wasn't entirely clear which idea she was going for until his last loop around the classroom, but he did oooh and aaah, each time, regardless.

"This is an interesting concept," he bobbed his head as he read over her shoulder. "How will the tattoo know to, er, darken.... without magic?" Because, er, they were still in muggle studies, after all. Perhaps she knew a thing or two more than he did about tattooing. That wasn't exactly Schmoe's forte, after all.

SPOILER!!: Remy

"Quite true," Schmoe agreed. He valued safety too. Very much so. "That is, er, that is a neat solution. It would allow for wearing the Cotton Candy Pants in various settings. Not, er, not just when participating in dangerous sport?" Was that her original intention though? He had schmoe clue.

Her design was quite nice and Schmoe made sure to give her a thumbs up for all her good work. Now, er, did she plan on putting together a poster or was she more of the theatrical type? They seemed to have a good mix in this class.

SPOILER!!: Violet

Schmoe nodded thoughtfully as he listened to the added explanation. "Ah, yes, very well." It was a neat idea, especially this addition of robotic carts. "I like the creativity, Ms. Blackthorne!" Made him so JAZZED.

"Have you thought of a name for the invention?"

SPOILER!!: Claudine

"Ah, now this is a good business model!" Both on the problem solving end, but also in the way that it would encourage increased business as consumers would be reliant upon more sticky pads to keep up with their cleaning efforts over tie. Schmoe was no business man, but even he could understand such a need for demand.

Her poster was coming together quite nicely too. Ms. Blaze always had a knack for artistic endeavors. "Nicely done!" He saluted her as he did another loop around the room.

SPOILER!!: Kayne

On the contrary! Finneas thought Kayne to be a great inventor based upon his idea alone. "This would be very useful, heh," he chuckled, mostly to himself, as he leaned over the young man and read through some of the notes. "Can it locate markers?" Because Schmoe might need that expertise again in the future

After this round of checking up on students, Schmoe made his way back to the front of the room... Which was still in a state of disarray. But. Er. What can you do!? The Schmoe must go on, amiright!? Er. Anway, AnYwAy, ANYWAY. Back to the point. "Whoever would like to volunteer to go first for their presentation, the, er, the floor is all yours!"

Well. Some of the floor. Most of the floor was still....... a playground of random muggle objects.

OOC: there's about 24 hours left of class time! if you're ready to present your invention, you can go ahead and do so - just post as if Schmoe gave the thumbs up to go ahead and take your turn!

otherwise, no need to rush through things <3 students can continue to work through other people's presentations too! take it at your own pace.

Her answer to Schmoe’s question had only been the beginning. Picking up her quill before Schmoe could even conclude his sentence, she went to work brainstorming and jotting down ideas. It looked like a busy mind map with arrows and squiggles and words all at different angles. Words like teleportation app, instant snack, robotic pet, and more were written on her book. These were all fantastical but what did her parents always wish they had on them? Instant transportation or a pet to cuddle with? To Lisa, it made sense. She moved to the bottom of the page and began adding her thoughts more coherently. Problem To Solve: Not being lonely Solution!: Provide a companion on demand She stopped her quill and then scratched it out. They had apps like that already surely? And it wasn’t a great inconvenience….. Forgetting keys would have been useful. Maybe a device like a rememberall? But you had phones that you could do that with too…. Problem To Solve: Forgetting what you were about to do! Solution!: ….. just remember better? Be better overall? Nah, she couldn’t put that down as a solution. She’d have to narrow scope. What about her Appa forgetting things on the grocery list or forgetting said grocery list? Idea: Say you have important tasks to do. You could use an enchanted clear non permanent tattoo sticker/paper/thing that you can put on your skin. Write the items you need to complete. The ink on your skin will be lightly coloured but as you get closer to needing to finish your task, the ink will become darker and darker and TINGLE! Reminding you to do it. Once done, the task will disappear off of the sticker/tattoo. And what an imagination she had. Finneas found himself more and more intrigued each time he walked by her table. It wasn't entirely clear which idea she was going for until his last loop around the classroom, but he did oooh and aaah, each time, regardless. "This is an interesting concept," he bobbed his head as he read over her shoulder. "How will the tattoo know to, er, darken.... without magic?"

SPOILER!!: Remy Quote: Originally Posted by Emzily Mobility… “I mean… I think staying alive is more important than mobility…” she thought out loud. Like, when you wore a life jacket in the ocean your main priority was just to stay afloat, not necessarily worrying about being able to swim. But she did see the professors point, and tapped her chin with her quill to think of a solution. “Maybe the padding would just be on the important parts,” like chest padding, but she was careful not to completely rip off the idea of light armour. “It would cover the organs.” Smart. Remy crossed out some of the arm and leg padding, and then made some pretty flowery designs on the chest piece to make it totally fashionable. "Quite true," Schmoe agreed. He valued safety too. Very much so. *"That is, er, that is a neat solution. It would allow for wearing the Cotton Candy Pants* in various settings. Not, er, not just when participating in dangerous sport?"

SPOILER!!*: Violet* Quote: Originally Posted by MadAlice [b]Violet considered Professor Schmoe's questions, pleased that he was giving them individual feedback. "Well," she began, "I guess they would work best on a hard, smooth surface. Though--maybe you could have different types, one for hard floors and one for carpets. But inclines..." Inclines?!? Violet hadn't considered that; she'd been thinking more about moving things around in your house by yourself. She didn't think her invention would work for going uphill. "I'd really been thinking more about using these indoors, like inside the house, you know? I guess they wouldn't be that much help going up a hill. Although," Violet went on excitedly as a thought occurred to her, "maybe you could have some sort of robot cart that would carry things over outdoor terrain--that you could program to react to different obstacles!" Schmoe nodded thoughtfully as he listened to the added explanation. "Ah, yes, very well." It was a neat idea, especially this addition of robotic carts. "I like the creativity, Ms. Blackthorne!" Made him so JAZZED. "Have you thought of a name for the invention?" SPOILER!!: Claudine Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Claudine was mighty proud of her invention, and was quite ready for Schmoe’s question. See, she had already thought of it. She smiled warmly at the man. “Thank you, professor.” Could he tell that she was thrilled with how this lesson was turning out to be? “That’s the thing. The ends wouldn’t stay sticky long term. They’ll require changing and the sticky pads as needed.” Once she’d explained to Schmoe this bit, the Snakette set to work by using a regular pencil to draw a laptop. Now, not being fully familiar with certain Muggle devices, the laptop among them, the use of her textbook was put forth. Using the details in the book, Claudine replicated the laptop but obviously on a larger scale on the top quarter of the cardboard being used {it had been divided into four large squares; two at the top and two at the bottom}. On the screen was a huge sad face. In a bubble, much like in those comic books, the words ‘Help! I have dust trapped in the places you can’t see!’ In the second panel at the top, the laptop remained but was joined by her invention: it was about as thick as a pencil and had the length of an unsharpened, new pencil. Like some pens, at the top there was a button thing to push. When it was pushed, a long, thin extension descended with the tiny sticky pad stuck on the bottom. In another bubble, the words from the device read ‘I can help you there!’ The third panel depicted the device doing its thing by cleaning between the keys. The final panel depicted the device showing off the now dusty pad and the laptop’s frown turned upside down! "Ah, now this is a good business model!" Both on the problem solving end, but also in the way that it would encourage increased business as consumers would be reliant upon more sticky pads to keep up with their cleaning efforts over tie. Schmoe was no business man, but even he could understand such a need for demand. Her poster was coming together quite nicely too. Ms. Blaze always had a knack for artistic endeavors. "Nicely done!" He saluted her as he did another loop around the room. SPOILER!!: Kayne Quote: Originally Posted by natethegreat Oh dear...Kayne wasn't really an inventor, nor was he really all that good with coming up with muggle objects. This class, really took a turn for the worse. His mind just didn't simply create things, unless it was some form of plan involving pranks or other forms of mischief. However, the kid wasn't the type of person to simply give up. So, Kayne was about to make his best attempt of thinking about an invention. The Mordrake boy thought and thought and thought. Taking a few minutes to work through what he could possibly come up with in his head. Then, something flew into Kayne's mind. Sure, what his idea was basically involved two things which were already created, and it would theoretically be extremely expensive to make, but it's not like they were actually about to bring their inventions to life. It was just an idea after all. So, Kayne got set to work, writing out the basis of his creation. SPOILER!!: Invention Problem- lost items Solution- a long rod with two clamps at the bottom of it. Within those clamps are tiny cameras, which send a live video feed up to a small monitor at the top of the rod. The cameras have 3 different settings, regular, infrared, and x-ray. The rod can fold, and when unfolded is about 3 ft tall. This allows for reaching into a pile of things, or under a sofa with ease. Once the lost object has been located, a simple press of the button closes the clamps around the item, allowing for it's retrieval. There, Kayne had prayed that would be good enough. Besides this idea, he really had nothing else that he could possibly do. On the contrary! Finneas thought Kayne to be a great inventor based upon his idea alone. "This would be very useful, heh," he chuckled, mostly to himself, as he leaned over the young man and read through some of the notes. "Can it locate markers?"
