Our ACCEYSS STEM History Spotlight is Garrett Morgan – The Inventor Who Helped Save Lives

Garrett Morgan was an American inventor and businessman who loved solving everyday problems. Even though he had only a few years of formal schooling, he never stopped learning. He read books, experimented with ideas, and created inventions that made people's lives safer.

Amazing Inventions
🚦 The Three-Position Traffic Signal
Long ago, traffic lights only had "Go" and "Stop." This sometimes-caused dangerous accidents.
Garrett Morgan invented a traffic signal with a third position that told drivers to pause before moving. This idea helped make roads much safer and influenced the traffic lights we use today.
Garrett Morgan's inventions continue to inspire engineers and inventors today. His story reminds us that curiosity, creativity, and perseverance can help solve problems that make the world a better place.

🧠 STEM Fun Fact! 🚀
Did you know? 🌻🌞
Plants are nature's original solar-powered technology! Through a process called photosynthesis, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into food while releasing the oxygen we breathe. Every breath you take is connected to the amazing science happening inside leaves!
🌱 Think About It: If plants are powered by the sun, how could we use that same idea to power our homes, schools, and communities?
