It is a pack lunch bag which keeps food both hot and cold. It is solar powered on the front to make it work. It is waterproof and also has a water dispenser in the cold side. Perfect for a picnic.

Little Inventors team says

The half cold half hot pack lunch bag certainly would be fantastic for picnics. How brilliant to have a lunch box cold enough for ice cream and hot enough for soup, all in one handy bag, how convenient. it is particularly clever to power it by solar energy, perfect for the year 2030. Having a solar panel attached to the packed lunch bag means it could also power other things, like a mini bbq or speakers to play music on your picnic, do you have any other brilliant ideas? Well done Lola.

I love packed lunches but I hate it when my hot food is cold and my cold food is warm. This is the perfect solution to a genuine problem. I also love the fact that you have thought about how you will power it using a sustainable source of energy. Very clever!
