Discover innovators and pay tribute to their contributions to American culture.  Throught the years, inventors have spawned ideas that make life easier and more efficient.  Benjamin Franklin has helped keep our buildings protected from lightning and invented bifocals.  Thomas Edison was legally deaf, yet he invited the phonograph.  Eli Whitney speeded up cotton production, and Henry Ford got us moving with the Model T.  Students will be inspired to become the future innovators of America!
