      I would like to invent Bernard’s Watch. This is a fictional invention which I would love to own! It basically stops time so everything around you is frozen but you get to walk around. So you could stop it when you wanted to lie in bed for a bit longer in the morning, or if you wanted to get some chocolate in the middle of class, or even naughtier, if you were late handing in some homework, you could give yourself more time to do it. I think this would be the best invention of all because it would give you unlimited time to do everything! The drawback is that you would age more than anyone else depending on how much you used it so you would have to be careful.

      I really want to invent a nano-camera! (I just don’t know how…)

      This is basically a camera so small that you can put it inside your experiments and see whether they are working or even have them go into your body and look at your cells. Ideally, you could also arrange it so they could see, for example, tumour cells and attack them. Nowadays we have ways of specifically targeting tumour cells, but none of the treatments has a camera attached to it 🙂
