- Summary
- COI synopsis: Schoolchildren, bursting with enthusiasm and full of original ideas, are getting the opportunity to become the designers for tomorrow, through new teaching methods. Their inventions range from an accurate sunshine recorder, geometric dominoes, ingenious roadsigns to the first music calculator. And the first unforeseen bonus is that some designs are so remarkable that industry is queueing up to manufacture them and to sponsor the designers through university.
