Invention to Help the World Invention to Help the World Students will create, draw, or write about an invention that would help the world. The invention may need technologies or tools that are not invented as of yet, as da Vinci sketched inventions that could not yet be made during his lifetime, but they must be realistic and not involve "magic" as its way of being operated. Students should label any simple machines (such as wedges, screws, inclined planes, wheel & axle) that are within the invention.
