The Slug Squisher

Brooke has been in the Gifted and Talented program (GT) at school since Kindergarten.  Once a week, the GT kids are pulled out of their classes to work on other things.  This year, the second graders learned about innovators, inventors, and philosophers.  For their end-of-the-year project they had to interview people to find out "problems" they were having, choose one of those problems to solve, and invent something to fix the problem.  They had to create a marketing plan and build a prototype.  Brooke chose Dave's problem of "slugs in his soup".  She invented a "Slug Squisher" that could protect your soup from the unwanted pests by either squishing them or capturing them.
The Wylie ISD 2nd grade GT kids had an Invention Convention on Thursday evening to show off all their inventions.  There were a lot of great inventions, but I think, by far, the best one was THE SLUG SQUISHER!
