Burn-Free Oven Mitt
Invented by 9-year old Nicholas Fornario
Nicholas may just be the next Thomas Edison. At the age of 13, he has more than twenty inventions. Nicholas says that his inventions are to “help pets, seniors, kids and everybody else.” He is a problem solver. When he sees a problem he looks for a solution. He puts his creativity to task, builds a prototype and tries it out. All of his inventions are then tested (he enlists his family, friends, and dog to make sure his prototypes work).
• The Burn Free Oven Mitt - an oven mitt with tongs to keepNick appeared on The Ellen Show and displayed all of his inventions at the 1st Invent Now America competition in Orlando, Florida 2003. He received numerous invention awards in local competitions in Rockland County, NY and in National competitions including the INPEX Invention Show.nbsp;
