Description

About the Book

This STEM-focused biography follows the life and work of Lonnie Johnson, from making his own rocket fuel as a kid to working for NASA and creating the popular Super Soaker water gun.

Book Synopsis

As a kid, Lonnie Johnson liked to invent things. He often faced prejudice as an African American growing up in the segregated southern United States, but he eventually became an engineer for the US Air Force and NASA. He was working on a different invention when he came up with the idea for a new type of water gun. Johnson knew his toy was more powerful than other squirt guns--he just needed to find a way to make the Super Soaker available to kids all over the country. Learn how Johnson overcame many challenges to become a brilliant engineer and inventor.
