Observaciones y contexto

Based on the inventions that Beulah Louise Henry created during her lifetime, students will invent and draw their own invention and then write and talk about it to their classmates.  
  
This activity can be done in class or as homework.  They can also upload all their inventions to the PADLET platform, created by the teacher. The 3 most original ones will be chosen and their operation will be explained. This can be done orally or by reading what they have written.  
  
 Although other inventors such as the American chemists Ruth Benerito (1916-2013) and Giuliana Tesoro (1921-2002) achieved a more numerous record of patents (50 and 125 each), Beulah Henry's merit is even greater, being a self-taught woman.   
  
We also highlight the following women inventors:   
 1. Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) to whom we owe the technology that made wi-fi or Bluetooth networks possible.   
  
2. Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) The Countess of Lovelace created the first algorithm that would process the analytical machine (considered the first computer in history). She is considered the first computer programmer in history.   
  
3. Alice H. Parker (1895-1920) designed a central heating system using natural gas as a combustion source.   She became the creator of the first boiler, the forerunner of central heating and hot water systems.   
  
4. Katharine Burr Blodgett (1898-1979), the first woman to work at General Electric Company. We can thank her, among other things, for the effectiveness of our sunglasses. His best-known invention, anti-reflective glass, is used to manufacture computer screens, car windshields and camera lenses.   
  
5. Ángela Ruiz-Robles (1895-1975), Spanish professor who devised and patented a system of "mechanical, electrical and air pressure procedure for reading books" in 1949. It is what we know today as e-book.
