Baltimore County budding inventors show off their projects
Necessity is the mother of invention."It was raining and I wanted to ride my bike," said Friends School fifth-grader Renee Audette, explaining how she came to invent "Dry With 2 Wheels," a combination of a bicycle, an umbrella and a shower curtain.
Renee, of Cedarcroft, is a student in Lisa Filer's fifth-grade science class, which held its annual Inventors' Fair March 8 on the Charles Street campus.
In hopes of riding in the rain, Renee affixed a black umbrella to the handlebars of her bike and a sheer shower curtain around the outside of the rim of the umbrella.
Why a shower curtain?
"It was the only material I could think of," she said March 4, coming out of her music class to show off her bike as other science students put the finishing touches on their inventions.
