Item 20 – Socially-Distanced Olympic Games
The Summer Olympics got canceled, but that doesn’t keep a focused athlete like you down.

Personify an object in your house and take it on an incredible virtual or real adventure (something like this, but you can’t do THIS exact thing now).
Item 17 – Renaissance Pandemic Chalk Drawing
SIDE-BY-SIDE. Recreate a famous Renaissance painting on a concrete driveway or the side of a building using chalk. The ‘painting’ must be altered in some way to include something related to the pandemic: a portrait could be wearing a mask.
Item 16 – Socially-Distant Cake Candle-Blower
Blowing out candles on a birthday cake is unsanitary and so ‘2019.’ Luckily, you’ve designed an incredibly clever and ingenious device (Rube Goldberg or otherwise) that will blow out candles while you are standing at least 6 feet away. (No fans or hair dryers allowed). Let’s see it in action.
