Most of the time people always come up to me and I don't like it because most of the time I don't want to talk. I thought that what if I made a thing that told people if I wanted to talk or if I was busy and even if I did not want to talk.

What a brilliant and authentic invention! The T-Talk is such a simple yet powerful way to help people respect each other’s boundaries and focus. I love that you identified a real-world problem and built a prototype to solve it. This is incredibly useful not just for students, but for professionals like teachers and office workers too. I would love to have one of these on my own office desk! It’s a great invention that even adults could benefit from in their workplaces. Excellent work and great job on your testing and for being a true engineer!
I might need to try this myself. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am glad you were able to practice with your brother on your prototype.
Great job

The inventor of The T-Talk did an amazing job identifying a real-world problem and creating a clever, colorful solution to help people communicate their boundaries!
Well done! As an introvert, I totally understand what it feels like not wanting to talk and being spoken to. This is a great way of communicating your feelings.
This is a creative project idea, and you showed curiosity and effort.
