Example: Walt Disney, Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow



The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (E.P.C.O.T) was a concept developed by Walt Disney near the end of his lifetime. It was a "community of the future" that was designed to stimulate American corporations to come up with <span style="background-color: transparent !important; border-image: none; border: currentColor !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-size-adjust: none !important; font-stretch: normal !important; font: 16px/24px Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;"> for urban living.

___ POST YOUR INNOVATION BELOW THIS LINE__ _ Christina Peek Camera- Camera obscura __ My technological innovation that I have created for my study is the camera. My  is to advantage the modern day camera, I have researched enough to realize the snap of the camera needs to be quicker. The other thing that I am trying to advance is the camera itself to widen out to the size of the people to get a clear picture of everyone. For example if there was a whole class then the camera would stretch out to that actual size of the actual class and then you could see everyone really good and close up. __

__Mike O'Drobinak__ __Athletic Shoe- Compartment__ __My choice for my innovation was a tennis shoe with a retractable compartment that can contain small items. The compartment would have a small grip to pull out located at the bottom of the shoe. The compartment would go from the arch of the shoe to an inch or two higher than the bottom of the shoe. The compartment will be a little more than 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide located in the middle of the shoe.__

__ Alex Romanowski: A smart system that links your bipod to the scope of your rifle so when you are looking down the sights and you can't get on target the bipod moves the scope to the target to compensate for your sway. In order for the bipod to move there is a small battery back hooked up to movable suspension on your bipod. For example, of you sway left on every breath out and right on every breath in the system would calculate for that and adjust the bipod to keep your sights on the target. __

__Zion Carter__

__My innovation is a football helmet. One common problem is people getting their necks hurt and getting paralyzed. The neck is a sensitive area so to protect it we could build an additional piece at the bottom of the football helmet that protects it. This would be several small circles of glass cut and drilled together with padding on the inside to create a neck guard that is flexible but padded and plastic as well.__

__ Reed Cecil: My innovation is a waterproof floating light bulb. When it is dark outside and the ligths in the pool are not bright enough, you will have this floating light. There is a remote that goes with the light to turn it on and off without having to open the whole light. The actual bulb will have tungsten filament inside the bulb so it can last for a while with a bright light. Then it has a water proof sealing around the bulb. It also even has another additional sealing for more protection. So water does not get to the bulb. __

**Austin Cahn** CubeX (Portable gaming systems) This product allows users to control three dimension holograms to play their favorite games and be truly immersed in gaming. The system contains a strong and sturdy case, glare preventing holograms, an store to  games, four , an easy to create password to start the system, and a web browser that works quickly and efficiently.

Jason Kaplan __ My innovation is a golf ball. The average golfer does not strike the ball good every time, and when a golf ball is badly struck the outer layer of the ball will scratch causing it not to fly in the air correctly. If the outer layer were thicker, then the balls would be less likely to scratch and would last longer than current balls. In the old ball layer 1 is not very thick but in the new ball it is. This will prevent scratching on the golf ball. __



Mikae Provine The Hologram My innovation was based off of 2D art. My new product is a box that when connected to a certain computer program, can create "three dimensional" figures that really are not there at all. This will create a whole new way of creating art in the future.

__ Olivia Diecidue __ __ IToaster __ __This toaster calculates what you are putting in it, and then decides what temperature and time would cook it perfectly.__

__Kelland Timothy__

__The Test Dummy IV would be a family of test dummies, a 50th percentile male, female, and 7 year old. The Dummies would have artificial bones, ballistics gel skin, and artificial organs. These would test fractures, punctures and internal wounds.__

__Gigi Novello__

__My innovation is . The new innovative product that I want to make out of it is a lens that releases eye drops when you touch a part of it. There is a small circle of fluid that you have to press on, and it will release the eye drop fluid into your eye to moisten it.__

__Davis____ Childers: Basketball Shoe __ __ The subject of my innovation was the Basketball shoe. Brands such as Nike, strive to create basketball shoes is to be as supportive as well as lightweight. This can be extremely difficult because being supportive often means more material which also means heavier. By creating a shoe with new lightweight materials, such as Pebax, the shoe can be lightweight and supportive. __

__ Jack Harrison: Football Cleat __ __ My topic for my innovation is the football cleat. Adidas, Puma, and Nike are all brands that try to be successful in creating the best football cleat possible. Creating a strong, stylish, and light- weight shoe can be stressful, but with Nike's new light-weight material that makes you look good and is supportive which brings on-field results. __

__ Chris Callison: __

__My choice for my innovation is the computer. Instead of having a standard laptop or desktop you could make a holographic computer. It can be voice activated and it has a base to it that when turns on projects the screen of your computer into the air and it is touch screen and your finger is censored by a____n object in the base.__

__Karina Shah: Eyeglasses__ __This new innovation of glasses would include all of the things that Google Glass includes; taking pictures and recording videos, showing directions, and many other features. On top of all of these things, it would also be able to connect to Wi-Fi, apps and music, and have connectable ear buds that you can play the music out of. They are also look more appealing than Google Glass does.__



__**Rachel Gasser:** Colored X-Rays__ __ My Innovation is about x-rays that were colored because they could provide better contrasts between tissue types. It could also be less cancerous if they are done with less radiation. __ Brandon Nally   Swimming suit material __ Based on my research with the top of the line swim racing suits, the most successful racing suits contain a blend of either carbon fiber or another substance, or a small portion of what is modified plastic. So I decided, in the future, what about if the 2 materials come together to create a carbon fiber and plastic suit. It would truly be the best swim suit on the market. It would decrease the wearer’s time by more than a couple tenths of a second. That may not seem a huge margin to the average person, but in sprints, that is the difference between 1st and 10th, tenths of seconds. __



Ornella Pigeon: Skis

Skis have been around since before 5000 years ago. They were first used by Scandinavian farmers and hunters as transportation but there uses have changed since then as well as the skis themselves. They are now more technology advanced being longer, made out of stronger and lighter materials, having a camber, etc. They are also now used for recreational skiing. Skis have and always will be a great way to move quickly and easily across snow and now with my innovation of making them out of titanium while leaving the camber and the skis thinner near the center, skis will last longer and be lighter.

__Lizbett Ocana__ Innovation of Pointe Shoes The innovation that I have picked are pointe shoes. Pointe shoes have evolved a lot since they began. At first, it was just a machine that was invented by Charles Didelot in 1795 that helped the dancers get on top of their toes. In the 1800's, dancers started to use toe pads to help the pain and to absorb the moister that accumulates in the show. Eventually now the best and most useful type of toe pads are ones that are soft and squishy as well as very comfortable. From my innovation, I propose that toe pads come built in to the shoe so that you do not have to buy them separately. Not only for that reason but also so that you will never forget them again and have to go through the pain of not using any at all. They would be on the walls on the inside of the box part of the shoe.

__Joy Mompi__

Innovation of suction devices in 

There are a few problems with the  of today. One of them is the lack of cold air in the refrigerator. In a normal fridge, a small evaporator fan blows the chill air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. Sometimes the evaporator fan cycles on and off. A way to fix this problem is to replace the fan with a suction device that would immediately suck all the cold air out of the freezer and into the refrigerator and flow through a narrow tube.

Gary Shetye

Future Camera

The camera would take pictures when you form a rectangle and upload it to a cloud and then you could delete and view it with Google Glass. A projector would be optional and it would all hang on a necklace or integrated with your clothes.

Marcus Rose Innovation of the Hockey Skate



The Spray-On Soap

My innovation was soap. Soap takes a long time to  to yourself and to wash off and sometimes you do not apply it everywhere. With this soap that you spray on yourself, you don’t need to rub it in very much because it automatically is absorbed into and rehydrates your skin. This should allow for faster and more efficient cleaning.

Brian Showalter The field of innovation I picked was telephones, so I created an high-tech iPhone that has holographic display and voice recognition. Juliet Spalding Ballet- Ballet Shoes

A ballet shoe is specifically made for ballet dancing. Over time the shoe has changed to help the dancer with the shoes on more. An example of this would be the support of the ballet shoe, over time it has revolved with more cushioning and support. Over time it has also been improved with the look of it, and the straps. The straps have been improved over time to an X which is more delightful to the eye, and also more protective to the dancer. The ballet shoe was first invented in 1682, and at this time the standard ballet shoe had heels. Luckily, we have taken precaution over the years to take off these heels, because they were very bulky and made extra, unwanted noises while landing a leap, or simply walking on stage. With the soft ballet music we have had all these years, it is a great advancement that we have decided to remove these heels, because they were a distraction to both the dancers, and the audience. Overall, ballet shoes have come a long way and I hope to see even more advancements in the future.

Lilly Field:  My innovation is a portable charger for electric vehicles. With this innovation, people could go longer distance while still running on electric instead of gas. Also, with this charger, you don't have to be stopped to charge your , you can charge it while driving. It works by being charged before you need it, and then it will hold the charge until you use it.



Sneha Patel, Multitron (Handheld Gaming Device) The Multitron is a device that is capable of playng the GameBoy game cards(large and small) and the Nintendo DS and 3DS cards as well. This allows the user to have more space with them.

Star Lucas Air travel- Automatic Airplane

My innovation is an automatic airplane. In the front of the plane there is a screen. You type in the directions to where you want to go and it takes you there. It tells you the exact time it will take to get there and the amount of fuel. It lands and takes off for you safety. When the plane has a problem or that it might crash, it send out a signal of where it is and what happened. This innovation will save the lives of many people by getting help fro them as soon as possible.

Matthew Jessen

Innovation of the Cell Phone

Michael Mohammadi

My Innovation is a basic military attack in which you only need three squads to perform. In this attack you only need to cover three areas to get to the enemies side and defeat them. One squad goes around the right or left side as quiet as possible without letting his or her gun off. While they are quietly going around the side another squad is making a lot of noise trying to draw the attention there way. The last squat goes right down the middle of the battle field taking out the enemies that are shooting at the squad that is distracting.

__Dane Kudla:__

My innovation is a retractable lacrosse stick. This is great for players that play multiple positions, as this calls for various sized shafts. Made out of alloy, the lightest possible ingredient to construct a stick, this retractable shaft will not be very heavy. It will have four possible options: Defensive stick, Middie/attack stick, Fiddle stick, and extra small stick for convenient travel.



Long Lasting Battery  GPS- Madeline Saft

All GPS' created for cars only have battery that lasts for a short amount of time. My  is a GPS that has up to 12 hours of battery life and is able to charge in the <span style="background-color: transparent !important; border: currentColor !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-size-adjust: none !important; font-stretch: normal !important; font: 13px/19.5px arial,helvetica,sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;">. This is helpful for long car rides so it continues to charge during the car ride.

Zoe Carovano: Movie Effects My innovation is a shadow enhancing feature for a camera that changes the shadow. For example, if you had shot a scene at noon and you wanted the shadows to be long like the evening, you can use the innovation to adjust the angle of the shadows. __ Adidas SL LE edition By Harrison Pithers My idea for an advancement in the innovation of soccer cleats is a new type of soccer cleat with different materials, textures, and technology. Its base is black graphite which provides durability and comfort, synthetic diamonds that help with your touch on the ball, gold carbon fiber on the inside for touch and durability, a sprint frame on the back which are incredibly light, and last but not least studs that adapt automatically based on the climate changing between plastic or metal studs automatically.

The Makeup Projector App By Isabella Schlact The Makeup Projector App allows you to take picture of yourself from multiple angles and to draw a makeup concept on it, then project it onto your face in real life using green LED technology. The Makeup Projector App scans your face and takes note of its shape to enhance accuracy, and then lets you choose from a variety of colors and brushes to add makeup to the face to create your own look, using preset makeup concepts from the app, and asking for tips on how to be eco-friendly and safe when using cosmetics. Innovations in <span style="background-color: transparent !important; border: currentColor !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-size-adjust: none !important; font-stretch: normal !important; font: 13px/19.5px arial,helvetica,sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;"> By Sarah Munger The innovation I made in <span style="background-color: transparent !important; border: currentColor !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-size-adjust: none !important; font-stretch: normal !important; font: 13px/19.5px arial,helvetica,sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;">, is a new way to unlock them. All you have to do is wave your hand in front of the phone’s camera and the phone uses motion detection to unlock itself. You can also use this feature to return to the home screen.

The Built-In Insert Socks By Emily-Elizabeth Grams Socks have been around since the Stone age and have gone through many materials and purposes. My innovation is a sock that has comfy inserts built into them instead of having to put inserts into each of your pairs of shoes to make them feel more comfortable. Catelin Lipham, Glasses My innovation is a new type of glasses. They give you a larger view of the surrounding area and there are little cameras so you can see behind you. You can also take pictures. It alerts you if you have an incoming call or text message. You can also snap on different frames.

Reilley Poulin Innovated Camera My innovation is a camera that is charged by a solar panel which saves electricity and time. it also is a "smart" camera which is voice activated, it also has a projector, a built in removable tripod, and a non scratch-able lens so picture quality stays good. Nina Pastore Vehicle Safety

My innovative idea for automobile safety is based on airbags for children. Although an airbag may save an adults life, sixty-six children have been killed by an airbag hitting their neck or chest. I propose alternative chairs in the front row with fold-out cushioned backing. In the event of an accident, children in the back row will be cushioned by the chair’s cover. Just like an air bag, the cushion would deploy when the car was hit. The cushioning would cover the entire back of the chair, with 4-6 inch padding. Cole Hoffman – Switchable Stud Soccer Cleats My advanced add-on to the soccer cleat is switchable studs. This allows the soccer cleat to switch between plastic studs for firm ground and metal studs for soft ground with just the click of a button. This does not take nearly as much time to unscrew and screw in these studs. The extra studs are held in the inside of the sole of the shoe.
