    I have ideas for creating an electromagnetic generator that could power vehicles, and if expanded, even homes. Could there be a challenge on creating renewable energy, not just solar energy?

    Both of your websites for youth favor girls. They should be gender neutral. I'm so tired of everyone trying so hard to politically correct that they over do it. I'm sorry about the rant but my son's lego league team could benefit from these websites but how does it inspire boys when all the info is given by girls and there's flowers on the page?

    I have not explored the site much, but ive been thinking about cool engineering tools that could be potentially helpful. I do not know much at all about engineering and dont know if this is invented yet, but it would be interesting to see a tool, like a sonar gun that emits sonar waves and maps them out within a certain radius on a screen atop the "gun". Then, there could also be a heat sensor at the base of the gun with the same radius that also maps out what heat signatures there are around the person using the gun.

    I have been inspired by your website and want to create a better solar energy cell. Do you have any people that could help me?

    Is there a possible way to use water to power a car? Or harness the energy released from splitting an atom?

    I'm personally motivated by what I've been reading at your website...I think the six-minute video is great...Relaying your information would be a pleasure for any educator; I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about what the 21st Century will require from all of us budding engineers!

    seria bueno que idearan un metodo para crear oxígeno a traves de una maquina que cumpla las mismas funciones que una planta.
