OOC: Applied Inventiontronics Syllabus
Students will have the opportunity to create inventions great and small! Each week they'll have an assignment to boost either their invention-thinking-upping skills, or their invention-building skills. All assignments can be completed by individual students or in groups (including the final project), and any materials they can find or magic they can use may be put to use as long no one gets intentionally hurt in the process.

Pretty much everything will be handwavey, but participation will be fun. Promise.
