"Peek-a-boo! I see you!" is a machine that can locate lost items. The lovely monster in the diagram is the main machine. Its mouth is a tablet that shows a GPS map which can locate missing items. How does it work? Well, this machine uses a code system, like the ones in libraries. You can put codes on everything, including your most prized possession and things that you always lose, in 3 ways: (1) stick stickers on firm objects, like water bottles and wallets; (2) use labels that can be sewed onto clothes, scarves and more; (3) use accessories like necklaces and collars for locating living things like children, the elderly or pets. The stickers, labels and accessories all have chips embedded into them, so the GPS map can locate them. This invention is for people of all ages, especially for people that are forgetful.

Well done Shannon, this is incredibly well thought-out and imaginative. I love the diagram too - you've made a functional item really cute as well! Great inventing, give us another one sometime!
