Invention Nationals in Michigan

Hello to my future customers.  I open with that because it is my dream that someday I will develop practical, wonderful and meaningful solutions to problems that plague the world.  I have been practicing all aspects of the development process including problem identification, brainstorming solutions and most importantly, persistence.  I am fortunate to have participated in organizations that help me develop these skills such as LEGO League and Invent Washington.  

The linked video illustrates a couple of my recent inventions and may help provide a better understanding of how I view the world both in the body of the presentation as well as my question and answer period in the last few minutes of the video.

I recently won the 2018 Washington State 7 & 8 Grade Invent Washington Grand Championship with my latest invention called the 'Get-A-Grip' home dental care system.  The 'Get-A-Grip' is intended to assist people who have poor grip strength, poor grip geometry and/or lack of fine motor skills to self administer proper dental care.  People with arm/hand injuries, Arthritis, stroke recovery, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson's and many other ailments can enjoy independent living and a higher quality of life with this home dental care system.

As the Washington State Grand Champion, I have been invited to represent the Evergreen State at the National Invention Convention and Entrepreneurship Expo in Michigan.  

I am hopeful to attend so I can continue to learn new techniques to apply to idea development, brainstorming, presentation and more.  

The cost is approximately $3,000.00 which includes: 
1.  Airfare - $1,000.00
2.  Hotel - $500.00
3.  Registration - $650.00
4.  Food - $400.00
5.  Ground Transport, baggage fees, etc - $450.00

I look forward to proudly represent Washington in Michigan and appreciate any assistance to help get me there.

Thank you,

Jake Gendreau
