My favorite subject in school is math, but inventing, I do 24/7. Inventing is my favorite thing to do,” exclaims Sanvi, a seventh-grade student from Delaware, Ohio. “In math, there’s a right answer and a wrong answer, but with inventing, there is more creativity, so you can do it your own way. There is not a specific way to invent.” While only in middle school, Sanvi has discovered the magic of inventing. A serial inventor, Sanvi has created a number of inventions, many of which solve problems in incredibly different fields. Through her recent invention, the Cafawaste X 2000, an eco-friendly smart waste bin, Sanvi has also begun learning about intellectual property (IP). Just like there’s no specific way to invent, Sanvi has also realized there’s no one-size-fits-all journey to pursuing IP ownership.
