The Buzzy is a reusable pain relief device designed to look like a kid-friendly fist-size bee. It uses vibration and a cold pack to block pain from needle procedures, splinter-removal, bee stings and minor burns. The inventor, a pediatric emergency physician, originally tested the idea on her son by using a massager and bag of frozen peas. This product is an imaginative idea because of how it was developed by making connections among and re-purposing non-related elements in a resourcefulness way. https://buzzyhelps.com
Crafty Cut, from Preloaded, aims to solve the challenges of learning geometry. It presents students with an imaginatively designed game that teaches the conceptual underpinning of geometry by relating flat 2-D representations of various shapes to the 3-D world. To accomplish this, Crafty Cut: (1) does not require a pre-requisite in algebra or even arithmetic, (2) is a game that students enjoy instead of a ?subject,? and (3) has teaching aids that are built into the game. This product is an imaginative idea because the teaching approach leapfrogs flaws in traditional geometry instruction by gamifying the learning experience. http://preloaded.com/games/crafty-cut
