Who wouldn't want to play with a
Super-Soaker, and learn how it was invented? It turns out
that Lonnie Johnson from a young boy knew he wanted to
invent things, as he constantly experimented and tinkered,
designing three dimensional objects such as rockets and
robots that really worked. This African American
inventor's talent, passion and hard work paid off when he
created an invention for NASA for the Galileo space probe.
Whoosh! will inspire you to take things apart, learn how
they work, and maybe eventually create your own
inventions. (Pennsylvania
