Rolling Tasks is a machine that rewards an individual with a gumball for completing a number of tasks. It is extremely hard for individuals, especially teens, to complete homework after a long day of school and work. Research has found that when the brain expects to receive a reward, it releases dopamine, which enhances reward-related memories. The hippocampus is also strengthened, which is the brain’s learning and memory center resulting in a more productive learning environment. The machine targets an individual’s productiveness while making it an enjoyable experience for the user. 

As stated earlier, it can be difficult for teens to complete homework after a long day. Rolling tasks was created keeping in mind those hardships of completing tasks. Although teens are the main reason this product was created, an individual can utilize the machine in any way they see fit. From homework to even rewarding dogs for learning a new skill, Rolling Tasks creates a fun and productive way to complete tasks. To use Rolling Tasks, all one needs to do is write their tasks on the top part of the machine, and spin the knob to release a gumball onto the track. Once they are done with each task, they will press the corresponding button to the task they completed. A light will turn on, signifying that the task has been completed, and the flap preventing the gumball from rolling further will go down. For each task, the user will complete these steps until everything is complete and the gumball has reached the bottom.
