🌟 Sunday Inventor Spotlight
Featuring: Francie “@PassionateIntention” Gilletti Zanuzoski
This week’s spotlight shines on Francie Gilletti Zanuzoski, known in the community as @PassionateIntention — a devoted educator, caregiver, and inventor whose work is rooted in family, love, and service.
Inspired by her Italian immigrant heritage and years of joyful teaching, Francie’s invention journey began while caring for her mother. She calls this her “Passion with Purpose,” and her story reminds us that invention isn’t just about solving problems — it’s about serving with heart and leaving a legacy.
💬 “I did a deep dive and was amazed at the level of programs, services, and opportunities available... I knew after my session I had finally found a place where I could learn and grow—and in turn, help others!”
Her warmth, energy, and insight continue to inspire inventors across the platform. Francie, we’re grateful you’re here — the best is yet to come!

🧠 Weekly Inventor Riddle – Ready for a Challenge?
🧩 Last Week’s Riddle Answer:
A map! 🗺️
It has cities, but no houses. It has mountains, but no trees. It has water, but no fish.
Did you guess it right?
Let’s see how you do this week...
🔍 This Week’s Riddle:
I was once just a thought, a sketch, an idea.
Now I’m real, I’m built, I can solve or delight ya.
But before the patent, I must be kept tight—
What am I, held back before I take flight?
