#5 Innovation for your nation!
11 October 2021Winners Announced
We were so amazed by your innovation skills that we decided to extend the deadline of last week’s competition! However, the time has now come to choose our winners. The entries that really shone out from the rest were from…
friendly_leaf of Lake Bank Pioneer Preparatory in Tunisia, who invented a solar-powered machine to solve the problem of water scarcity
and
adaptable_memory of Faujdarhat Cadet College in Bangladesh, who invented a new law to help prevent future deforestation.
Great creativity, both of you!
Innovation is when people invent something new - usually to solve a problem - and it has been in the news a lot recently.
For example, our new Headlines resource helps you to discuss Iceland's new carbon-capture plant, which sucks carbon dioxide from the air and turns it into rock! It is hoped that this will help to slow climate change. Read about how it works here!
Your challenge this week is to think of a problem that affects your community and write no more than TWO SENTENCES to describe an invention that could help solve it.
It could be to do with:
- Transport
- The environment
- Energy
- Education
- Food production
- ...or something else entirely.
Please keep all entries suitable for a young audience, so we ask that you do not write about distressing crimes or anti-social behaviour.
Be creative - it could be a robot, a machine, a device... or anything else!
You could structure your answer like this:
A problem in my community is...
To solve it, I would invent a... that could...
There have been so many fantastic entries to this competition that we have extended the deadline to Monday 11th! Please make sure you follow the rules above.

A problem in my community is healthcare
To solve it i would invent a easy to use database of all the common diseases and their symptoms.
its very nice
I agree 👍
I agree alot.
I agree 👍🏻👌
I agree with you, and it is a problem in my community as well, and it is possible to invent robots that work to provide health care to patients.
aproplem in my city is Water Crisis Should be innovation👍
The anti-coronavirus vaccine is not harmful to the body, but it is very useful, and it gives immunity to the body, and there are also many who were afraid and fed so that the vaccine would not be infected.
A big problem in our community is Air pollution which leads to Global warming and it is so hazardous and it is cause of discomfort to humanity and other living organisms. Air pollution is also the reason behind the change of environment. I would like to suggest something to control Air pollution base on factories by burning less gasoline in industrial processes and by switching over to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power.
I agree ❤️
i agree
Very good 🖤❤️
I agree
good👍
nice❤️
A problem in my community is lack of education
To solve it, I would invent an e-learning system and make it an obligatory for all to be educated and the e-learning system should be like in TV channels we see adds in break so instead of adds I would play some educational videos as add and then in end of month there would be a test and it would be for all that could change the situation (situation of lack of education would be changed to more educated population)
Also, in Gaza, we suffer from the problem of educational loss due because the Corona virus. I want to create a program that compensates for educational losses in an easy and fun way
E-education has been done by many countries and also Gaza I want to focus on the subject that who wants education will learn in the most difficult circumstances e-education can not be a way of ignorance
Well done
The TV channels we see extras are in the break so instead of extras I'm going to play some tutorial videos like Add and then at the end of the month there will be a quiz and it will be for everyone.
I do not think that it is a suitable solution for everyone, to be honest, there are some people who are bored or do not prefer watching educational videos, but in my opinion, creating a comprehensive channel for all ages, especially focusing on children, children were the most affected group in e-education. I suggest a comprehensive channel for all ages that presents the interests of these ages, but Some educational information is included in it that the viewer can benefit from, for example, all children prefer watching cartoons rather than watching educational videos, so we must do entertaining and funny cartoons and include information that children should know, but in a funny way that children do not get tired of
It is true in Gaza the education system is very low
It will be fruitful if we develop the evaluation process for the education systems at Gaza strip, then recommend some corrective actions.
I have another solution, which is to record electronic lectures for everyone to benefit from
A program Classroom that is used by using a link dedicated to their classes.
Talking glasses for those with vision problems, is an artificial intelligence device that can be attached to the frame of any glasses, and can recognize faces and coins or read text and information from symbols aloud and the user hears clearly.
I think this is the solution, I liked 👍🏻
Exactly. I think it causes problems .
This comment is very sensible and it helped me and it made me understand
Like wise,the Gaza strip suffers from lack of education due to the corona virus
But I have a solution to this problem, developing and nurturing minds by reading stories and novel.Partent teachers thought social media such as whatsApp,Telegram,andclassroom .
A good idea, but I have an idea similar to yours, which is to make pages on social networking sites for some of the educational videos, and this will dispense with private lessons.
yes but it might be ignored,
we all watch TV but not everyone is familiar with websites or pages you are talking about...
nice ☺️
We also suffer from this problem
But I have other solutions are which not using mobile phones while driving making sure of a reliable drivers license and certifl cate and putting on a seat belt
Traffic lights are a device that regulates traffic movements and prevents traffic accidents.
These already exist, splendid_fruit. What could YOU in invent to solve a problem?
Modern medical devices, to help treat chronic diseases.
There can be no cure for this disease, it is chronic and can be cured by one thing, which is God, and we can also alleviate it with the right treatment and food.
A problem in my traffic accident community to solve, I will create a Robert device that regulates traffic movements or sensors to alert the driver.
very nice
I have another suggestion, which is to increase the number of traffic police
To solve this problem, I think that the state should provide more capital so that they can start their own projects as they want, or help them travel outside the country where they can get more job opport
I have another suggestion, which is to increase the number of traffic police and take care when driving in cars and motorcycles, and so on
This is not an innovation but an ordinary solution, the idea must be creativity and innovation to win the competition and get a star, I wish you success
True
Regulating traffic through thase machines
A problem in my community is Pollution of sea water with sewage ,to solve it , I would invite genetically modified bacteria that could to convert polluted water into usable water by absorbing toxic substances.
But no one knows about the impact of gmo's on local flora and fauna,they might takeover the place,rendering it useless. As if they can digest inorganic plastic,then they can easily takeover organic beings.
I agree with you
Can you say why?
Because in our society we are facing the same problem, and our society has not found a solution, and I hope our society will take this solution
Great idea and I will also make a lightweight robot out of floating materials so that when it goes into this water it will purify it and get rid of toxins and make it clean usable water.
My community suffers from that too, so I'm going to invent robots with a quick-drill feature to dig a huge hole where all the sewer pipes are connected to the hole and clean water is not deposited to conserve water.
Oh great you are excellent
I have another suggestion, which is to use it in agriculture
Good, we have this problem, and we can also propose a solution to it, which is to treat sewage before it reaches water bodies; Where it can be used to irrigate crops, and thus water is rationalized and preserved. trying to use oil derivatives instead of coal; Because its combustion products are less harmful to water.
We cannot rely on bacteria. In my opinion, we should make a device through which polluted water is converted into water suitable for irrigation of crops, which makes us keep the sea water clean and which makes us irrigate the crops.
yes, and I agree with you us water pollution results in poisoning and suffocation of marins organisms which leads to their death .
When wastewater enters the ocean and mixes with seawater, the pollutants disperse and weaken, and this has led to the persistent assumption that the solution to pollution is dilution such that no toxic water leaks out.
Great, and my community also suffers from this problem. I will invent the satellite networks on the shores of the seas and collect waste.
Yes I find this is a good invention
Good
It is a problem in my country too, so I would like to invent ships that work on renewable energy, there is a propeller that absorbs all the microbes and impurities in the water, so that the fishermen can practice their craft without danger to the sea and its water
Well if you are planning to invent a bacteria that would make water pollution free then don't you think that that modified bacteria would effect the climate and also the habitants of sea water? Already there are news of founding so many virus and bacteria due to melting of sea water and there would be some special character containing bacteria and that may destroy you modified bacterial and thus a new pollution may raise so always invention will give result it does not matter. To solve problems why only invention and all, lets think differently and implement laws and regulations that would not pollute the environment and at least reduce the effects of new inventions. Its time to work unitedly maintaining rules and laws not inventing, so lets just go ahead with laws .
A problem in my country is infrastructure that in winter all the streets sink with rain which make it impossible for us to go to schools or to the market .To solve it , I would invent pipes in holes of the streets and these holes opens only in rain time and the water walks through the pipes to the sea . In that way we can avoid that our streets sink in winter rain.
Great solution! I agree with you.
This is a great solution, I agree with you
Yes, correct We face it too
Great idea!! I agree with you
I agree with you, and I also want to create small openings on the sides of the roads so that water can enter them and people can cross easily.
There is another solution, which is we can make buildings that love the streets and these buildings we can put filters in them to filter us water and then it is pumped to the groundwater through pipes
Or put a device that works to purify water, and this makes water suitable. We can irrigate crops and we can filter it through filters to filter and pump groundwater through pipes, thus not pumping water to the sea
Once water is contaminated, it is difficult, costly, and often impossible to remove the pollutants. Still today, 80 per cent of global wastewater goes untreated, containing everything from human waste to highly toxic industrial discharges. The nature and amount of pollutants in freshwater determines the suitability of water for many human uses such as drinking, bathing, and agriculture. In addition, pollution of freshwater ecosystems can impact the habitat and quality of life of fish and other wildlife.👍
Good
I love your comment wonderful.
Oh great idea👌
A problem in my community is the famous sewage problem that in Gaza we don't have places to waste water to go ,so the polluting water goes to the sea as a solution and this makes environmental disasters .
To solve it, I would invent awaste water filter device that could filters waste water and turns it into clean water to irrigate crops, since we suffer from a lack of irrigation water , in this way waste water will be some thing helps the environment.
Wonderful! It will solve many problems.
I have read a lot about these topics and learned that black water cannot be reused ,but rather it is waste water,but there is a so -called qrey water ,which results from the water of washing ,laundries ,and sinks after filtering,and this can be used to irrigate crops.
This is a great solution, I agree with you
This solution for us and for nature ,it will be work like sensor for our body and for the nature
Yes thats right
Yes, as for me, I want to invent a device that prevents polluted water from entering the seas and creating pools of water that we purify and not transport to the sea..
I have another suggestion that we devise a wastewater treatment system to make it usable
Wonderful, and my community also suffers from this problem. I will invent pipes and supplies that deliver water to the ground and store it, in this way we can use rainwater in our daily lives.
Good idea
A problem in my community is a petrol shortage to solve this I would make a machine where all the plastis in the sea would be made into a type of fuel.
I have another solution to the problem of lack of fuel, which is to make a device that fuel consumption.
The problem of child labor is one of the most common problems, especially in developing countries, through which children under the age of eighteen are employed, and there are many factors that lead to it, such as: family disintegration, weak textbooks that do not care about child development, and accompanying bad friends, And the absence of activities that occupy the child in his spare time, and to solve this problem, the following can be taken into account: Parents’ interference in the child’s upbringing and upbringing. Enacting harsh and strict laws for children who work under the legal age, conducting seminars and awareness sessions for children, in addition to providing job opportunities for one of the parents.
I agree with you, and this is something that suffers from preventing many children in our society, and sometimes this is because of the parents. Either he is forced by the parents, or he is missing the parents “orphan” and your solution to this problem convinced me 🤝👏
Yes, that's right .I think we can get benefit from it here in Gaza.
My problem is lack of money people get
Every month people will need to give money to poor countries(5 pounds) and if you do not you need to pay 2 times more.
Pollution due to non-biodegradable wastages is the major problem in my community. To solve this, I would invent a huge machine that would instantly convert the waste materials into other stuff such as paper, dolls, statues etc.
me to we will do that together
We shouldn’t use plastic anymore
The problem is the danger of the plastic bags, cans, and containers. Science proves the damage that plastic materials can leave on human. That’s right many countries recycle things made of plastic. But wait! They reuse it as plastic again. A plastic bottle of water or juice maybe used again as a plastic shampoo container. So, the problem is the same and we just lie to humanity. I like to solve this problem by inventing a huge machine that transform all plastic materials into glass and paper. At least glass is safer on human than plastic which pollute the environment, the sea, the air and the land. The machine will transform the plastic in different shapes of glass by pressing on a couple of different shapes and sizes that suit different things. Also , I like to make specific programs for children telling stories about the danger of using plastic containers. The children will grow not liking plastic and tend to use other safer materials from the beginning of their lives.
I will work on creating robots that get rid of waste that cannot be used, and the advantage of these robots is that they are working on making other robots to help them.
I have another suggestion, which is to increase the number of cleaners and increase the number of machines
I agree with you on that and also devices can be invented in the infrastructure that sense the presence of waste and work to pull it out and then close it.
