Using an invention or technological breakthrough discovered in Massachusetts, have students create an infomercial selling that technology or innovation to the general public, complete with a demonstration of the technology, client testimonials, and a pitch about how this will change life as we know it. Next, have students critique this invention or breakthrough: Are there downsides to this, particularly from an environmental perspective? How should this be addressed?
