School for Pencils
Inventor: Emily
Invented at age: 8
She had a problem: Students often lose their pencils
and cannot find one when they need it in class. Sometimes
desks are too messy to find a pencil in. Students are
still digging in their desk when the lesson begins.
She had an idea: Emily decided to make a “School
for Pencils” near the classroom entrance so students
can take a pencil when they come in, in the morning and
place one back when they leave. This way students will
no longer have to dig around in their desks for pencils-
they are housed near the classroom entrance!
 She
developed it: She took a juice carton and glued pencils
to it. She cut out a space for the pencils to be placed
in.
The idea was a hit: Emily was a winner in the Maryland
Cool School Tools Competition!
Emily is a brownie girl scout, plays soccer, and is on
her student council. Her favorite singer is Hilary Duff!
