Have a great idea for an invention (required step) Have a great idea for an invention (required step) I want to solve the problem of having to look at the keyboard and having to see the keyboard. I kept writing typos trying not to look at the keyboard. Then, I looked at it, and I couldn’t see it. So, I had to turn on a light, that ran out of battery. I didn’t have any batteries at home, so I couldn’t type on the computer.

Investigate inventions and ideas of the past (required step) Some solutions are: Lift up your keyboard Put your keyboard at a higher elevated place were you can see it with a light that has batteries. Do my invention idea !

How It Works You have some lights under the keys of the keyboard, to make it bright. Then, you have the key letters pushed up a little bit so you can feel it. Also, the keys are yellow, and that’s how it works. You have some lights under the keys of the keyboard, to make it bright. Then, you have the key letters pushed up a little bit so you can feel it.

Prototype How I made my prototype, was with cardboard. I cut the cardboard in to square pieces for the letters. Also, I cut some more cardboard into a rectangle-keyboard shape.
