    It's time to share the winners of this year's Invent It Challenge! Here are our four winners of the first round!

    Glo Zone (Ages 5-7 Individual Winner)

    Kabir from California came up with this cool invention after a not-so-fun experience. He was hit by four adults on a ski trip! To make skiing and snowboarding safe for nighttime (especially for smaller kids), he created Glo Zone,a fun glowing(发光的)rainbow umbrella that is attached to skiers' helmets.

    ProTech Helmet (Ages 11-13 Individual Winner)

    Pooja from New Jersey has created a light, safe helmet designed for playing frisbee (飞盘)!She came up with the idea after getting hit right under the eye at a frisbee competition and realizing she could get blinded if it were any higher. The ProTech Helmet has a lining(衬里) made of a new technology called Spin.

    Ace Attachment (Ages 8-10 Team Winner)

    Levi and Albert from New York dealt with helping people with disabilities enjoy sports. The Ace Attachment makes it easier for wheelchair users to play golf. Unlike similar inventions, the Ace Attachment is easily adjustable.

    Skate Shoes "DOOD" (Ages 14+ Individual Winner)

    It's the worst when you ruin your favorite pair of shoes! Fortunately, Rommel from Mexico has come up with new skate shoes. These shoes have exchangeable parts that allow pieces of the shoes to be replaced with new ones when broken instead of getting rid of the whole pair.
