How does a bus driver know when the students are buckled in?
Karen Ness, a Yeshivat Noam 3rd grader solved that problem by creating the Seatbelt Button. Karen’s creativity won her 1st place in the SITE (Student Inventions Through Education) competition against the champions from each school in Bergen County. Her invention is a screen that has each seat number labeled. When a child clicks his/her seatbelt, the corresponding light on the bus driver’s screen turns green from red. The screen, on the dashboard of the bus, enables the driver to know when all the students are safe and secure.
The 1st-place winner at Yeshivat Noam was Hannah Schachter, who invented the Kollar Keeper. Hannah invention keeps collars looking fresh and new, not wrinkled and rumpled.
Congratulations to Karen Ness and Hannah Schachter, who were both Yeshivat Noam 1st-place winners, for their great ideas and winning inventions!
