Summary
In straightforward chapters with plenty of photos, entries in the STEM Trailblazer Bio series showcase notable inventors and scientists who broke barriers in their fields. Super Soaker Inventor Lonnie Johnson is perhaps the best of the bunch: the authors explain Johnson's childhood in segregated Alabama, his career as a NASA engineer, the invention of the Super Soaker, and some of his later inventions and entrepreneurial achievements.
