Cinderella: Inventor Extraordinaire

The birds loved the new water park, and this made Cinderella very happy.

Still, it wasn't long before they started complaining again.

To design a new vehicle that would transport 4 people

Cinderella knew the guests would love the song.

It was a catchy tune, and her relatives were humming it incessantly.

Unfortunately, Cinderella's unpleasant relatives were not very happy. Now they were worried about an upcoming party at a nearby castle. They wanted to impress the King, the Queen, and the Prince by looking their best.

Cinderella's relatives were very happy with her creations, for about half a second. Then they started complaining again.

Cinderella knew that it would be most beautiful to wear clothes that were environmentally sustainable, or made from recycled materials. To prove it, she decided to . . .

Design a small-sized model of a fancy outfit using only recycled materials

How does Cinderella reflect about her design process? She asks herself . . .

1) What's working well? 2) What could be improved? 3) What have I learned? 4) How would I do this if there were no limits?

The new vehicle worked perfectly. At last, Cinderella's relatives were ready to go to the party.

Cinderella! Why aren't you dressed for the party?

her relatives asked. (They were complainers, but they weren't trying to exclude her.)

I've got more inventions I want to design!

Apparently, the King and Queen hosting the party

were notorious for playing terrible music.

Terrible

Cinderella decided that the birds made much better use of the pool than her complaining relatives, and she was tired of being asked to clean it all the time. So she decided to . . .

Design a water-based amusement park for the birds to replace the pool.

Once upon a time, there was a genius inventor named Cinderella. She happened to live in a castle with some unpleasant relatives.

How does Cinderella know if she has a good design? She looks to see if it . . .
