1.  If you want an interesting project, try http://www.halfbakery.com/category/Computer Be aware that many of the suggestions there are either impractical, difficult, or not software-related.\n\n2.  Make a game.\n\n3.  If you want to make something new that people will use, ask if anyone has any ideas in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup (unless you plan to charge) or look through the archives for requests for programs which were unfulfilled.

Get a group of people together and brainstorm. Every one puts in their ideas. No idea is too silly or too far out. You might get some good ideas or at least a new way of looking at things.

novelty/originality is necessary for a patent.\nt is highly unlikely that you can apply for a successful patent based of an existing product.

Think of a VERY original idea. Even if you base it on other projects you've seen, don't copy any popular projects. Start with something that interests you and ask why or why not?

Most large companies will not accept unsolicited ideas for the simple reason that they could later get sued if they came up with the same idea independently.  \n\nIf the idea is so good, either do it yourself or, at least, get a patent on it. Then you'll be in a better position to sell the idea to someone else.

Oh, man, tomorrow!? I have not ideas for an invention (actually, I'm working on something, but don't' want to share because it does not have a patent yet).\n\n Ask your parents for help. Can you ask your teacher for an extension on the project? \nThink of some problems (besides this one) and how you can solve that problem. Does it have to be realistic, or can it be futuristic?  \n\nGoogle "inventions".  Maybe you'll get some ideas.

make anything out of the following\nperiscope\nvolcano (Although I don't suggest this - it is a very old project and maybe many will turn up using this)\nA mini hovercraft or hot air baloon (info can be found on net)\nI don't know what it is called but if you know that thing in which we have to take a small hoop across a wire (which is not straight) without touching it. If touched, it will make a sound.\n\nIf none of this suits you, you might watch Backyard Science at National Geographic Channel
