This interactive PowerPoint has all the bells and whistles to keep your young students engaged while learning about very important African American inventors: George Washington Carver, George Crum, Lewis Latimer, Garrett Morgan, Philip Downing, and Alfred Cralle. It has animations, sound effects, discussion questions, and even a quiz with 6 multiple choice questions! Extremely user-friendly! Zero prep time needed!

Please note, if you have an older version of Microsoft Office, some of the advanced animation and transition features of this PowerPoint may not play, but the basic visual and audio features will present well.

Teach children about 6 amazing African American inventors with this PowerPoint and then extend their learning with related fun craft activities! This product has the perfect companion – African American Inventors (Crafts or Craftivities)! It’s a set of SIX cute and easy crafts or craftivities for Black History Month! The set includes the same inventors and their inventions that are pictured in the PowerPoint.

I also have African American Inventors (Book) in my store as an alternative to the African American Inventors interactive PowerPoint. I realize there are schools that may not have the technology needed for the PowerPoint presentation in their classrooms. If that’s your case, just print my book instead and read it to or with your students.
