Everyday Edisons Season 1 Episode 12 Hi, My Name Is...

Everyday Edisons is an American TV reality series where inventors with promising innovations get assistance from a team of experts, engineers, and product developers to bring their idea to market. Season 1 episode 12, entitled "Hi, My Name Is..." features a group of inventors with a variety of products that could change the way we see the world.

In this episode, the show takes us from Atlanta, Georgia to Boulder, Colorado to New York City. First, we are introduced to a creative mind named Jef Sneider who has developed a product called the "Tickle Me Plant." It’s a plant that curls up and moves whenever it’s touched, and he believes it will be a huge hit with children. Next, we meet Richard Devaul, a man who has invented a pair of sunglasses that have a unique folding mechanism. He has been working on the design for years and believes they could revolutionize the sunglass industry. Then, we are introduced to Deb Singleton, a woman from Atlanta who has invented an easy-to-use medical device called “Med-E-Alert.”

As we follow the inventors' journey, we watch as they are mentored and coached by experts in various fields. Jef Sneider, for instance, is paired with a professional designer to help him improve the Tickle Me Plant’s packaging and instructions. After meeting with a toy expert, he is advised to focus on making the toy more interactive, so children would engage with it more. Richard Devaul's challenge is with his unique folding mechanism that causes the lenses to scratch. He meets with experts who help him solve the issue by designing a hinge that will protect the lenses. Deb Singleton's medical device is closely evaluated by medical professionals who give her suggestions on how to make it more efficient and improve its accuracy.

Once the inventors have received valuable guidance and prototyped their ideas, they travel to New York City to pitch their innovations to a panel of investors. They have just three minutes to showcase their products and convince the judges that their invention is worth investing in. The panel of judges includes executives from major companies, experts in their fields, and investors looking to invest in the next big thing.

The judges are immediately impressed with Jef Sneider’s unique “Tickle Me Plant." They acknowledge that it would likely appeal to a vast demographic, not just children. When Richard Devaul pitches his sunglasses, the judges are impressed by the unique folding mechanism that he managed to create. They also appreciate that the sunglasses are incredibly sturdy and well-made. Finally, Deb Singleton presents her "Med-E-Alert" device and explains how it could help save lives. The judges are amazed at how effective and affordable the device is.

In the end, the judges ultimately make their decision on which product to invest in. At the unveiling event, we find out which product has been chosen for production. Will it be Jef Sneider's Tickle Me Plant with its unique interactive design, Richard Devaul's sturdy and well-made sunglasses with the unique folding mechanism, or Deb Singleton's life-saving Med-E-Alert medical device?
