Hey parents and learners, in this one-time class students will learn about an African American Inventor of their choice. This class is important because black inventors often go unnoticed in history. We should recognize those whose inventions have left a lasting impression on the world. Students will learn about some of the things we use in our daily lives that were created/improved by African Americans. Students will gain knowledge about inventors like; Allen, J. B., Bailes, Wm. Bailiff, C. O., Bell, L., Binga, M. W. Boone, Sarah, Brown, Marie Van Brittan, Brown, Albert, Burr, J. A., Burwell, W, Carrington, T. A. and many more inventors. Students will learn about the inventor's background history, their inventions and how their inventions made life easier. This class will be informative and engaging. Students will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions about the inventors and their inventions. Students will also be able to show the inventors recognition by drawing or writing about the inventor/invention. We can also discuss how we can invent our own inventions.
