We picked 15 of them.
  1. Ar Condicionado Mágico (Mozambique): Gabriel wants a machine to bring some light in the dark and some air-cooling as the nights are hot and it should also double as a smartphone-holder
  2. Teléfono Con Manos (Mexico): Leonardo wants his parents to have a smartphone that does everything automatically, so that they can play with him more in stead of being busy on their smartphone all the time
  3. Power Ranger (South Africa): Tairick wants a machine to give water to the grass
  4. Trotinete de Limpadora (Mozambique): Antonio wants a step that he can use to clean the floor
  5. Handwriting Pen (India): Kiran wants a machine that enables people with an ugly handwriting to learn to have a beautiful handwriting
  6. Meisie (South Africa): Wilmarie wants a machine with a flat bouncy tummy that she can throw a ball at
  7. Máquina Del Tiempo (Mexico): Jorge wants a machine that enables him to communicate with his loved-ones that have passed away
  8. Plant Parent (India): Kiran wants a machine that shows wether or not the plant needs water and that enables the plant to cath the sunlight from all sides
  9. Ball & Bed (South Africa): Elmarie wants to have a ball-game installed on her bed so she can continue playing without her parents noticing it
  10. Mi Máquina De La Juventud (Ecuador): Alan wants a machine that enables people not to age so they can stay young and not die.
  11. A Caixa Mágica (Mozambique): Alesha wants a magical box to hold and organise her stuff including make-up
  12. Lanzadore De Telerañas (Mexico): Jorge wants a machine that enables him to throw a cobweb to children that are hurting other children
  13. Caixa Secreta (Mozambique): César wants a box to keep his secrets in.
  14. Doctor Stranje El Hoyo Negro (Mexico): Leonardo wants a machine that gives you Lego bricks when you put an empty plastic bottle in the machine (recycling)
