What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Invention workshops will guide you through the basics of coming up with an idea, building it, and then telling other people about why your idea is important and useful. There are young inventor workshops all over the world that you can sign-up for and participate in. There are also camps available for young inventors that might be of interest. In most cases a simple name describing the function of your invention is sufficient, but a catchy name can also help people remember your product. Keep the name short and to-the-point. Avoid using a confusing or misleading name. Come up with a few different names and ask your friends and family what sounds the best. In order to protect your invention and claim it as your own, you must patent it. A patent is a legal document stating that you came up with the idea and proves that you own the invention. It prevents other people from stealing your idea. The patent process can be complicated so ask your parents for help with this if it's something you are seriously considering. If you want to mass produce your invention and start selling it to others, you will likely need to raise some money. Investors are individuals who give you money when you are first starting out so you can produce the product. In return, they will get some of the profits from the sales of product. You can start by asking friends and family to help out. Participating in inventor challenges can be a great start because many of them have cash prizes. Inventor challenge competitions are a great way to show your inventions. Some of these competitions may have specific problems that they are trying to solve, while others are completely open to submit whatever you like. If you have a working prototype, consider submitting it to an open competition. Find a competition near you and register for it. Turn in all of the components on time to be eligible for the competition.
