What is a Invention?
To make an invention, I need to figure out how my invention can help people with their small or bug situation. But, before brainstorming down to my invention, I need to learn what make the invention useful. On the video on the right, it show Rude Goldberg, winning the 2014 machine contest. With her machine it helps people do the most simplest task they might need help with. (On the left it show Rude Goldberg Machine Contest 2014: Machine Purdue University!)

Crowd-sourcing feedbacks

I crowd sourced advice from 5 different people. Most of my survey participants believed between a yes and a maybe for if my product is necessary and most of them said yes. To me, this means that this invention is necessary. I got my name half from my sister's last year invention, the Handi-Seat. 33.3 people maybe, no, and like my invention. My survey participants rated my invention from 6-10, which proves my invention is a OK idea. But, the survey participants either say my slogan, Stay Clean, Eat Healthy is a good slogan. There was no advice about how my invention needed to be fix so I will keep how my invention the way it is. They say my price is reasonable, and it is affordable for people. So my invention is a good product, and is great, cheap, and helpful.
Problem Statement

Having trouble with cooking, and making a big mess? I have invented a product known as the Handi-Lid. This object I’m inventing is gonna solve your problem. It’s job is to help people who have experienced messy cooking. . Unaccompanied by this object, it just throws you off track and leave stress in you for the rest of the day. I know that this problem exists because my mom would always be stress and would have to clean the floor, counter, and the wall, after she is done. It stresses her out and would get mad. If my sister or I ask her something and she would tell us “ I'm busy, tell me later.” “It's very important to keep worktops and chopping boards clean because they touch the food you are going to eat. If they aren't properly clean, bacteria could spread to food and make you ill.” (Keeping your kitchen clean.)
The item I am creating, is gonna solve the problem of stress , and make you food shiner than ever. This invention is the perfect solution for people who has experience messy cooking, because, who doesn’t like a healthy meal? This object would save your time, save your energy, and would make your kitchen healthy. This lid would also stop ant from coming, or stop any other insects come. Won’t it be nice when, you won’t get stress anymore, and get more energy for something else.

How I got the Idea

This invention is mostly to help my mom. My mom would always get mad at one of us for interrupting her while she was cooking. One day, I was curious and ask her "Why are you mad?" She then replied "I'm just to focus on cleaning the big mess I made while i'm cooking." That gave me an idea. I did my research and having a product that can prevent mess for cooking is really important. That made my light bulb greater.I thought to myself, "How about a lid that can stop a giant mess" while I was in Invention Convention. I started thinking about this problem when I was 10, and thought "What can help my mom?" . So now that I am currently in invention convention I think more about it and did a little research until I figure out what to invent. Handi-Lid!
Cost Analaysis

I came up with $19.44 for my product. One would be for $19.44. I made it fair, by not making it too cheap or too expensive. I think this price would make it fair for people to buy it. I found cheap object for my invention, to make it fair for more people to buy it. My product needs glass and metal. I did research on Home depot website. A metal cost $5.98 and glass cost $5.96. I add them together and add the California tax together, which would be, 5.98+5.96+7.5, which would give me the total cost of my product. Then I would multiply them together by 100, to see how much will I make, if 100 people buys it, which would make me $1944.00.
How this products can help

Many people would be asking, "There is already a lid." or "How can this help me." This lid is like a lid that no other can see. It is a lid that give you the ability of doing many thing from spilling your food. It is like a double layer lid, that prevents your food on the ground. It can help you with cooking, and gives you the fun idea to do things, without thinking about making a mess.
