Young Inventor, TV Show Part of Library Program

Carson Magee is a good example of taking lemons and making lemonade. This 9-year-old from Coeur d’Alene has Type 1 diabetes and he invented what he believes is an easier way to test his blood sugar.
He will demonstrate his invention Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 6 p.m. in the Community Room at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, 702 E. Front Ave.
But that’s not all.
Magee’s invention took him to the state level of the Invention Convention where he won an official patent search as well as dinner with a famous inventor in Sagle. His win also saw Magee brought to the attention of the television game show, “Figure It Out” on Nickleodeon.
His appearance will also be broadcast Aug. 1 and the show will be screen in the library Community Room beginning at 7 p.m. Information: 208-769-2315 Ext. 438.
Magee was recently featured in a Coeur d’Alene Press article. It can be accessed online at: http://www.cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_df8bc9a2-2a77-5ae9-a1b1-c7642d8d746c.html
