The Fun Theory

ReZoo is a recycling machine/game for children that is designed to encourage recycling through fun. It is a three sided been, on each side accepting different recyclable item: bottles, paper and cans. Each side of the toy is a touch screen displaying animated animal character. In the idle state the animals are sad and bored, and when approached by a person they call for attention by making animal sounds. By inserting appropriate recyclable item, the animal will play with it a bit (juggle for example) and throw it into the recycling can on the screen.

Have you ever danced on a street or a park ? Waltz, Tango, 'Singing in the rain' ? Wouldn't it be great if you did ? But that's strange, no one does that. You're no performer, there's no music, there's no audience. But what if there was a really good reason to try ? This foot-step-patterned pavement lights up in an order along with music, inviting any passersby to follow the step by step Tango sequence. You're just learning, so no need to be shy. It's fun to have audience, or just be the audience. If there is nobody around and it's just you and your partner, how romantic !

My fun theory problem is that many people don’t like to plant trees in their back yard. Trees help us purify the air. People that have kids planting a tree can help theme have fun by building a simple tree house.

The problem is that people are lazy and do not want to walk and stand up from their seats. We can make a control that when you clap it turns on anything electronic device that you want will turn on or off.
It will be fun.

This device incentivizes drivers to stop at a stoplight by giving the first person in line a code they can call in to their local DMV and have a chance to win a lottery prize of "x" amount. The camera on top of the stoplight records the individual's license plate number. Drivers give their license plate number over the phone and confirm that they are the first driver in line and nobody else can call in and claim their lottery entry for them.

Instead of using paper ink in the printer you could use crayons and bottles but in the special printer there will be a basket. Each time you throw a bottle in the basket you will get points. Each time you get 10 points you will get an opportunity to choose a picture shown on the screen. Submitted by Efren Aldana.

Sharing is great. But with swine flu and various other diseases floating around, germs is the last thing we should pass around. Many germs spread because we do not wash their hands after using the bathroom, or do not wash for the recommended 20 seconds. Dancing Hands Wash has a motion detector in the soap dispenser that begins to play music (a la BEPs "I Gotta Feeling") to help bathroom patrons remember to wash and count down the suggested 20 seconds. Happy hand washing!

Many people don’t like to ride in dangerous streets; I do think that nobody should take a risk of that. My solution is to make many streets FUN and at the same time to seem natural (green, brown and more). My opinion is that it should be colorful but at the same time natural.
Instead of making new streets with cement, with rocks! Because the rocks don’t contaminate and the cement hotter the day. The people will use more the fun streets than other ones that are worse. These fun streets I call “Natural Streets”.

On the front of the machine will be a LCD screen which is touch sensitive. the person inserts a dollar bill and then chooses which oregami figure they would like to have created. each figure may represent different charities. the machine will be filled with pre-made figures. after the person has chosen a figure, two previously recorded arms come into the screen to make the figure. we will add sound effects(kung fu) and speed up the footage to make it more entertaining. after it is created the figure will be dispensed out of the machine, down a small canal which will empty out into a fountain.
