Abstract	Educators at Thomas A. Edison Middle School have worked together to bring invention information and activities to life. One activity in particular, Ping-Pong Ball Invention Challenge, has proven a great success. The Ping-Pong Ball Invention Challenge was inspired by the basic rules for PBS's "Design Squad"'s "Pop Fly" activity. In this article, the authors discuss how middle school students devise a variety of ways--some quite ingenious--for propelling a Ping-Pong ball high into the air using only a paint stirring stick, a ruler, duct tape, and paper. (Contains 5 figures and 4 photos.) (ERIC).
