What Is Inventors Day?
Inventors Day is a day set aside to honor all inventors who have changed the world. It’s also a great opportunity for people to learn more about them and their inventions. This day has been celebrated since 2006 when the National Inventors Hall of Fame first established it. The holiday had its origins in Germany, where it had been celebrated on October 16th as “Erfindersommer” or “inventor summer” for many years.
The History of Inventors Day
Inventors Day was first celebrated in 1977. It’s been recognized every year on September 27th as a way to honor the anniversary of Thomas Alva Edison receiving the first patent for an electric lamp. It’s been said that this invention changed the world forever. Thomas Alva Edison is just one of many incredible innovators, and we must take a moment to celebrate their accomplishments on Inventors Day. The first person who received a patent was Samuel Hopkins in 1790. He was issued a patent for producing potash with “wood ashes.” This is now known as the Leblanc process and resulted in changes to everyday items like soap and fabric dyes. The first American inventor was also granted a patent for his improvements on ropemaking equipment: Lewis Latimer. He patented this invention in 1881 and wrote about his life and work in his autobiography, “Life of an American Workman.” Other inventors we’ve all come across include Alexander Graham Bell, who patented the telephone (1876), George Washington Carver, who created 300 products from peanuts (1924), and even Christopher Columbus with his boat (1497).
When Is Inventors Day?
Inventors Day is celebrated on February 11th, which was the birth date of James Watt. He is considered one of the most important inventors in history and helped create what we now know as steam power.
