This friday Ellen Degeneres will be hosting a show about young inventors. These are brilliant kids who have invented something that not only is fully funtional, but practical.
Jake built a toilet seat "raiser" that has a foot pedal. He built a plywood base and then cut thin pieces of steel and fashioned a teeter-totter at the bottom. You step on it and the seats raises. You step off and it closes.
I am amazed at how a kid could come up with a concept like this. Jake says he got the idea when he saw a trash can with a foot pedal and thought that would be a great solution to his problem. Apparently he was constantly being scolded by his mother for not putting the seat down, which lead to her falling into the toilet. Normally I would say the mother should look where she is sitting, but in this case it lead to Jake's effective use of his creativity.
Great Job Jake!
