Lemelson Center’s Invention at Play: Invention Playhouse
Exploration/Tinkering
Exploratory play is about asking questions: “What happens when I do this?” “What if I did it this way?” Experimenting with materials and pushing their limits encourages us to consider a wide range of possibilities when problem-solving. Playing around with objects and ideas helps us see that there may be more than one solution.
Some inventors have a goal in mind and work persistently toward it. Others stumble across solutions to problems they weren’t trying to solve.

TileStack – Your Creative Playground
A Simple Idea
TileStack is a simple idea with endless potential. We asked ourselves, “What if it were possible for kids, teachers, hobbyists and even small businesses to quickly learn how to create interactive slides, games, applications and more?” Imagine the possibilities when everyone, not just the computer geeks, have the know-how. Give them a community where they can come together, share ideas, learn by example and improve the creations of one another. And encourage them to share and publish what they make, so everyone can enjoy it.

How Cramberry Works
Using Cramberry to study is simple. First, you create a blank “set” of flashcards. Cramberry will prompt you to give your set a name. All of your flashcards are stored in sets. Once you’ve created a blank set, Cramberry will help you add cards to the set. Adding cards with Cramberry is as simple as it is with traditional flashcards: just type in the text you want on the front and back of the card, and click on “add another card” to add another card to the set. Once you’re satisfied with the amount of cards you have in your new set, click “finish”.
Once you’ve set up one or more sets with the cards you want to study, actually learning them is simple. Click the title of the set from the home screen, and you’re off! Cramberry will present you with the front of a random card. Try to guess what is on the back of that card, and then click on the button to find out if your guess was correct. If it was, click “correct”. If not, click “incorrect”. As you continue studying, Cramberry will keep track of which cards you know, and help you learn the ones you don’t.
