It all started when I wanted to impress my dads friends…

But how it finished turned out good… This is how my creation/invention was created and was made.

When I went to a friends house in her basement I noticed that she had made many things made out of foam, wood and other materials she found. I asked her to show her some of her inventions and she showed me a foam and pipe cleaner couch with pillows for her, It was small but she could sit on it without it breaking. She told me that ever time her dad goes down the basement he gets impressed. That gave me an idea! Since it was a Friday my dads friends were coming over for poker, I wanted to impress his friends and make an invention just as my friend did.

I started of with planning what I was going to make. It was a simple sketch of what my ideas were. These were my ideas, a mini elevator, a mini trampoline or, a maze for my guinea pig.

I ended up choosing the mini elevator. I used the sketch to find out what materials would fit best. I wanted to use string but my dad had a better idea, he had a thick string connected with two black things that would work really well as an elevator.


after I got everything set I got a small cardboard box connected it with the thick stick and attached it to my stair case. Wooo I did it!

The elevator turned out great and when I got two guinea pigs I obviously but them in the elevator. It worked! My dads friends looked impressed (even though not all of them were really impressed) and it looked great! heres the video of how it turned out IMG_1611
