<h1>🔧 Be an Inventor!</h1>
<h2>Week 15 • Wednesday • Hands-On: Print, Build, and Invent</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Every inventor follows the same steps. First, they notice a <strong>problem</strong>. Then they think of an <strong>idea</strong> to fix it. Next they build a model and <strong>test</strong> it. If it does not work, they try again — inventors fail many times before they succeed!</p>
<p>Gutenberg tested his press over and over. The windmill builders tried different sail shapes until the wind turned them just right.</p>
<p>Today YOU are the inventor. You will make your own stamp printing press, just like Gutenberg's idea — press, ink, repeat! Then you will invent something brand new to solve a problem in your own life.</p>

<h3>✏️ Reading Questions</h3>
<p>1. What is the first step an inventor takes?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>2. What do inventors do when their idea fails?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>3. Why do you think testing is important?</p>

<h3>🔍 Hands-On: Make a Printing Stamp</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>You need:</strong> a potato or sponge (ask a grown-up to help cut), washable paint or ink pad, and paper.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>Step 1:</strong> Have a grown-up cut a simple shape or letter into the potato or sponge.<br><strong>Step 2:</strong> Press it into paint.<br><strong>Step 3:</strong> Stamp it on paper — again and again!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">You just did what Gutenberg's press did: made the same print many times, fast. Try printing a whole pattern or your initials in a row.</p>

<h3>✏️ After Printing</h3>
<p>1. How many times did you stamp your print?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>2. How is your stamp like Gutenberg's printing press?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>3. Which is faster: drawing your shape 10 times, or stamping it 10 times? Why?</p>

<h3>💡 Invent Something New!</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">Now invent your own creation! Think of a problem in your day — maybe your toys get lost, or your ice cream melts too fast. Fill in the inventor's plan:</p>
