The Grand Prize winning invention was "Pink Piggies Eraser Cleaner" - a spray solution for cleaning used erasers so that you can keep using them - invented by teammates Jillian Ross and Sarah Eifert. The two young inventors - Miami Valley's 2008 Wright Innovators - are 5th graders from La Mendola (Huber Heights School District) in Dayton, Ohio. (Grand Prize; $2,500 College Scholarship).
