When he was just nine years old, Chris had an idea which changed his life. He saw children who had problems playing basketball and he wanted to make a special basketball to help them. He painted big hands on a ball and called it the “hands-on basketball”. Chris took part in a competition for inventions (发明) at his school. He didn’t win the prize, but that didn’t stop him. His dad helped him to take his special ball to a big sports company (公司). They bought the idea and they made the basketball. Now you can buy the “hands-on basketball” all over the world. Chris became famous because he was in a book called Kids Inventing. The book was about young people who make things.
