What do Thomas Edison, James Watt, and Charles Babbage have in common? They are inventors! They are recognized annually on February 11 along with the Wright brothers, George Washington Carver and Elisha Otis on Inventors Day.
Inventors’ Day is a day of the year set aside to recognize the contributions of inventors.
