Finger-Pen
To develop a plastic device to sit over a finger that enables people with a disability to write more easily or for chidren/artists to use in a creative way. The device would consist of a ball or nib protrubing from the tip of the finger with an enclosed inner well or wick of coloured ink/paint located under the finger. Children could wear pens on all fingers for a new form of finger-painting. Students could use them to underline key points while studying; bingo players and office workers would also find a use for the idea.
