When I say “Science Fair” what image comes to mind? A baking soda volcano? Some diagrams of a frog’s insides? Those tornadoes you create by attaching two 2-liter bottles with some water and then shake them up?
How about a bike that can be ridden by someone in a wheelchair?
That last one will be on display Saturday at the World Trade Center. So will countless other gizmos, widgets and doo-dads, dreamed up by people right here in the Beaver State.
It’s all part of the Micro-Enterprise Inventor’s Program of Oregon annual show case. Four categories of whatchamacallits ranging from life-changing transport options for people with disabilities to technologies designed to make nursing easier for new moms will compete for top honors.
And the winner doesn’t just walk away with a fancy ribbon. They’ll get a full-scale marketing campaign AND the opportunity to meet with distributors in the hopes of launching their doo-dad to the public.
Space is still available. For sign up or attendance info click here.
