Feedback:
Thank you for sharing your invention! I love that you decided to invent something to help keep people safe. The thing that I was most impressed with was how you researched the topic first to see if there were other inventions like it on the market and how you also created multiple prototypes of your design. For the future, it might be helpful to get feedback from other kids and parents to see how your design could be improved in the future. Overall, I am very impressed with the work you did, and I hope to see more inventions from you in the future!

Might want to consider that there are different swings for different aging groups. And some of them are not allowable for small kids. And that’s Okay.

I would buy this right now for my two young children! One of our struggles is that they are both too young to go on a big kid swing, but there is only one baby swing at the park near our house. This would solve my problem! I wonder if you did any research on how many broken bones there are a year or trips to the doctor’s office from kids falling off swings? I really appreciate all prototypes you created and how you tested it out on your doll. Great job!

Feedback:
This presentation was out of control terrific! Both of you are very articulate and engage your audience especially since you did your research to note what problem young people need to be COVID safe in schools. This product definitely addresses a problematic scenario and you offered possible improvements to the prototype to better meet the need of the user. There may be other issues to note such as whether the sensors will function when the lid is closed and whether the spray truly covers the total surface of the skin without rubbing hands together since that is part of your claim. An improved version will be interesting to see.

Having a less expensive alternative to the commercial automated hand sanitizers is great. I love how you incorporated previously used shipping boxes; reduce, reuse, recycle!
