Inventors are often remembered for their milestones and contributions to human evolution, but there’s a lot more to their stories than just finished products. Teaching students about inventors allows the opportunity to instill a deeper message—one that encourages kids to embrace their curiosity and pursue their own creative ideas. Here are some suggested reads about inventors that may spark your students’ interest in all things building, tinkering, and creating. These books share inspiring stories about real-life inventors who were unafraid to dream big and think outside the box. They are also great for STEM/STEAM learning.
