Have you ever wondered what the past looked like or what the future will look like? If so, use this Time Runner, then you will know the answer to any question in history. Let's find out how the machine works!

To start this machine, open the lid of the watch and you will find the real Time Runner. As you open the lid you will find three clocks, a time line and a swirling portal. On the watch you will find a pencil. you use this to draw on the time line how far into the past or future you would like to go. There are also some button next to the three clocks that you turn.

If you turn the button next to the top clock, this tells the Time Runner when you would like to travel into the past or future. The button next to the left clock controls how much time you would like to be away. Finally, the button next to the bottom right clock is for when you would like to go back to the present. Don't worry, the present will pause while you are away.

This watch is also waterproof.

The clock will beep when it is time for your adventure and you will be transported through the portal!

Alina, what an incredible invention! The Time Runner sounds like an extremely sophisticated piece of kit, the description of how it works is so detailed. I really like that you open up the face of the watch and you have three clocks, a timeline, and a swirling portal, it sounds magical! I have always been interested in the past and I would use this invention to travel back to Ancient Egypt and see the pyramids when they were brand new! Your drawing is very clear, I an imagine The Time Runner on my wrist, ready to transport me anywhere. Great work, Alina, looking forward to seeing what you invent next!
