We are the Wright Brothers, we are entering the contest on the "Biggest Change Maker" under the category technology. As you may know we were the first people ever to fly in the sky and today most people are using our inventions/developing our invention as a foundation in todays technology. Before we explain more about how we made an impact here is a little biography on our life.

 We the Wright Brothers were two out of seven kids to Milton Wright. On the left is a photo of Wilbur Wright and on the right is Orville Wilbur's Wrights younger brother. We lived in the United States for our whole life in Ohio but moved around the U.S.A, Orville Wright was born on August 19 1871 and passed away on the 30th of January 1948 at the age of 76, Wilbur Wright was born on April 16 1867 and passed away on the 12th May 1912 at the age of 45.

School: We both went to primary school and secondary school but did not complete secondary school because our mother got ill so we both dropped out of school and took care of her. When mother passed away we did not go back to school to recieve our diplomas.

Inspiration:

We were inspiered to start building planes by our father. In 1878 our father Milton Wright worked sometimes as a bishop on the "Church of the United Brethren in Christ". One day father brought home a toy hellicoppter, the hellicoppter was made out of paper, bamboo and with a cork rubber band to twirl the motor. When the toy hellicoppter broke we decided to built our own. The toy hellicoppter sparked our interest in flight.

Other Jobs: Before we were known for being the first human to fly in the sky on something heavier than air we were caught in the demented bicycle craze which inspiered us to start our own company "Wright Cycle Company", during our spare time we would've made kites and sold them.

Most of our planes got inspiered by our hobby making kites and bicycles, so many of our planes look like kites and some has the chararistics of bicycles. We first begun to develop our plane by a flying five foot box which looked like a kite and at one stage Wilbur was aboard and flew on the glider like a kite, not too high off the ground with people/men holding the ropes to help control the glider. =====

In third person (Since we don't know what is the IB Learner Profile is): <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Wright Brothers have shown several IB Learner Profiles through their life. They were an inquier because they enjoyed learning new things even through failure. For instance they were trying to fit the wings and engines onto the plane and had failed many times, even though they failed they kept on trying to improove their invention and eventully succeeded. The brothers were both very good communicators ,this is evident as both brothers were able to commuinicate with each other on their ideas by commuinicating, in doing so they expanded their knowledge and research. The Wright Brothers were definately risk-takers because when they had to test their invention, they approached an unfamiliar situation by risking their lives to test their invention. They were really good at being a reflecters as they had to go over and over again what they had done wrong? For example "The 1900 Glider" was a modle of a kite instead of just quiting they continued to work on it until it became their first flying glider.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Persuasion: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Imagine there is no flight. Imagine you are living over seas from home, now imagine that there is no aircraft the journey is now done by car,train, boats which would take you a long time. Imagine you need to travel from London UK to Sydney Australia this journey would take nearly six months you would have traveled 10,000 kilometers. Thanks to the Wright Brothers 6 months on a boat is now changed to 18 hours on the plane. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The way people traveled all changed in 1903 when the "The Wright Brothers" first flew the "Wright I ". The discovery of flight is one of the biggest impacts on the way we travel during the past 100 years. The discovery of flight has impacted all of us in some way, it has changed the way we travel around the world and how we do business. The Wright Brothers did not make the type of planes that we use today but their discovery and inventions are the foundations for today's planes, without the Wright Brothers planes may have taken many many years to develop in which case we wouldn't have made it as far as we have today. media type="youtube" key="uT2dQB_OgFE" width="342" height="282" align="center"
