Flint boy’s invention earns him a spot on national TV
by Beata Mostafavi | The Flint Journal
Saturday May 16, 2009, 12:00 PMThomas Beaubien, 10, of Flint is the inventor of “The Glove Light,” which has landed him a spot on the Bonnie Hunt show.
FLINT, Michigan — Thomas Beaubien’s bright idea has snagged him a spot on a national television talk show.
It all started when the 10-year-old got tired of holding a flashlight so that his dad could see while working on his car — so he designed The Glove Light.
And now Bonnie Hunt wants to hear all about it.
The actress-turned-talk-show-host has invited the St. John Vianney fifth-grader to California for a segment on young inventors. Thomas will tell Hunt about his invention — a glove with five fingertip LED lights that can be used to help anything from barbecue cooking to electrical work at night.
The show’s staff found the Flint boy after he showcased his idea at the Young Inventors Fair at Kettering University last week and was interviewed by different media.
This is totally awesome. I just hope Obama doesn’t step in to burst his innocent little bubble, with silly regulations. This country needs more Thomas Beaubiens. I am rootin for this boy to start his own business.
