  1. Teachers’ Apron Macy G. 8 Years Old Mississippi, USA

  2. Step 1- Think It! • Spreading germs at school. • Bacteria (Bacteria are small creatures that cause soar throats, ear aches, cavities, and pneumonia.) • Viruses(Viruses can not live that long on nonliving things. They can only grow and reproduce inside living things. Viruses can cause chicken pox, measles, flu, and a lot of other disease.)

  3. Continuing Think It • Fungi (Fungi are plant like and live in warm damp areas. They can get between toes and that is called athlete’s foot.) • Protozoa (Protozoa spreads disease mostly in water. It causes vomiting, tummy aches, and lots of other diseases too.) • When you get these germs, you miss school. When you miss school, you miss important instructions, you have makeup work, and you miss special events.

  4. Still Continuing Think It • When parents miss work, they get behind on jobs, and they could get fired. When kids have to go to the doctor, they can get scared, they could get medicine that does not taste good, and they could get painful shots.

  5. Step2- Explore It! • Others have tried to solve the problem by: hand washing education, providing sanitizer, sneezing into elbow, and invention of hand sanitizer tissue. • During research, I saw a teacher’s apron with school supplies. I am going to add tissue, hand sanitizer, and wipes to the teacher apron.

  7. Step3-Sketch It!

  8. Step4- Create It! • Step 1-We bought the apron at Wal-Mart it was $7.98.

  9. Step 2- Mom modeled the apron to get a plan on how we were going to make it. • Step 3- Then we cut off the bottom of the apron to make the pockets.

  10. Step 4-We measured the sanitizer for the pocket on the top of the apron(8 inches wide 7 inches long) • Step 5-We measured the material to get ready to cut off the bottom.

  11. Continuing Create It! • Step 6-Mom showed me how to pin it, and then I tried it. • Step 7-I laced the thread through the needle. • Step 8-I measured how wide the top of the apron was (15 inches). • Step 9-I measured how wide the pocket was (4 and a half inches).

  12. Still Continuing Create It! • Step 10-We tried to hand sew it, but it got too frustrating. We are going to pin the pockets, and someone with a sewing machine will sew it. • Step 11-After thinking about it we decided to pin the pockets so they could be moved around after the try it phase. • Step 12-Next we worked on the tissue box. We have to cover the top of the tissue box with the material that is already on the apron and cover up the front with the material that was cut off.

  13. Still Continuing Create It! • Step 13-We pinned the sides of the material to fit the tissue box. • Step 14-We measured the material we have cut off, so it will fit on the front of the tissue box. • Step 15- We pinned the material we have cut off to the bottom of the apron. • Step 16-Using Velcro, we attached the top of the material we have cut off to the material that was on the apron.

  14. Still Still Continuing Create It! • Step 17-We cut the extra material in half to make the last two pockets.

  15. Still Still Continuing Create It! • Step 18-We pinned the sides of pocket to make a straight edge. • Step 19-We pinned the pockets to the apron. • Step 20-Finally we made a questionnaire for the teachers that were going to try it on so we know what we need to change.

  16. Step5- Try It1 • These are the teachers who tried it and what they thought about it. • Seymour 2/3/14 2/4/14 2/5/14 does not like things on her neck prefers a waist apron thinks it should cost $10.00 • Trigg 2/6/14 2/7/14 2/10/14 gets headaches easily so has a hard time wearing things on her neck thinks it should cost $20.00

  17. Continuing Try It! • Bass 2/12/14 2/13/14 2/14/14 wants smaller pockets for pens and pencils and fold the top down so they won’t get lost thinks it should cost $20.00 • Balius 2/17/14 2/19/14 wants to move tissue pocket up or to the side thinks it should cost$25.00 • Porter 2/20/14 2/21/14 thinks tissue pocket should not be in middle just wants a waist apron thinks it should cost $18.00

  18. Still Continuing Try It! • Conley 2/24/14 2/25/14 wants to put the tissue box in a different spot thinks it should cost$12.00

  19. Step6- Tweak It! • I thought about what changes I should make, these are the changes: cut off the top part of the apron, move the tissue pocket to the side, and make one of the pockets smaller. My mom’s coworker made the changes permanent by sewing it for us.

  20. Step7- Sell It! This is the script for my commercial. Hello! My name is Macy Lee, and I invented the teacher’s apron. This apron makes it possible to have access to everything you need at the low, low price of $19.99. That’s less than you would pay for a mani-pedi. Unlike that mani-pedi this apron will last and make the rest of your years of teaching easier. If you won’t take my word for it, let’s hear from a teacher that wore it Mrs. Trigg. So Mrs. Trigg, what did you think about the apron? I loved it! It is the best thing since television.

  21. Continuing Sell It • So there’s your proof. Don’t go waist money on hair and nails. Buy my invention so nobody at school will ever be sick again, and you will have more little ones to teach.
