Sixth-graders at the Floral Park-Bellerose School and John Lewis Childs School presented their inventions and research during the districtwide Inventors’ Fair on Jan. 29.

The students were tasked with finding a problem and inventing something to solve it. Their projects included teeth-cleaning gum, a pet bed that reduces shedding, a gas-powered computer, and potato electricity. The inventions were on display in the schools’ gyms for younger peers and parents to see.
