介绍:
Sarah Hutchins has won a great prize from amazon.com in a competition for young inventors.
Sarah invented ‘camoculars’-binoculars and a camera together.She was one of thousands of young people who sent their ideas to amazon.com,the web company that organised the competition for young inventors.
Sarah was at a concert when she thought of her invention.’I was sitting a long way from the stage and I was watching the band through my binoculars.While I was watching,I thought,’I’d love to be able to take a picture of this!’ Then I got an idea.Why not have binoculars with a camera inside them?
When she got home, she took some plastic binoculars and a cheap camera and put them together.Her sister was watching her and told her about the competition.So Sarah sent her idea to amazon.com and two months later, she got a surprise. amazon.com phoned to say that she was a winner.They didn’t give her the top prize in the competition, but she won$1,000 and a trip to New York.
People are already asking Sarah what she is going to invent next.’I don’t know,’says Sarah.’If you just sit there and think, you won’t invent anything, because you get ideas at strange moments.They only thing I can do is keep my eyes and ears open!’
