Read together
Inventors and creators, gather around
Let me tell you a story, quite profound
About a world of software and machines
Where amazing things are made, it seems
There's a special kind of engine, you see
That runs on digital electricity
It powers all sorts of things we use
From phones to tablets to video views
But did you know that an inventor's brain
Is what brings these things to life again and again?
They come up with a process, a plan in their head
And turn it into a product, no detail left unsaid
They tinker and test, day and night
Until their invention is just right
Then they file for a patent to make it official
To protect their creation, that's the initial
And with that, their invention takes flight
And becomes part of our daily sight
Thanks to the hard work of those who dare
To create new things, and to share
So young ones, remember this lesson well
The power to invent is within you, can you tell?
Use your imagination, and let it soar
And who knows what amazing things you'll create, and more!
Talk about it

- What are some examples of digital inventions that you use in your daily life?
- Why is it important for inventors to file for patents to protect their inventions?
- How can you use your imagination to come up with ideas for new inventions?
- Who are some famous inventors that you have heard of, and what did they invent?
