Jennifer Garcia

Vacuum Mat

• Jennifer's first invention came when she was in 7th grade. She created a door mat with a vacuum cleaning device built in to clean the dirt off shoes.

• A year later she invented a machine that would dissolve a special ink that she created when it came in contact with a chemical.

• She won first prize in Invent America! Competition for the state of New York for her Vacuum Dirt Mat and first place in her high School's annual invention convention for the "uncopy machine"
