<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The students are asked to prepare a short video describing their vision for a new invention or a new idea or method related to STEAM. It can be a simple solution for a daily life problem (such as a machine that
picks up clothes off the floor before mom gets mad) or it can be a solution towards global problem (such as helping bees, water supply etc.). There are no restrictions on the topic
