Colors of Invention: The Story of Inventor Marie Van Brittan Brown In-Person
In collaboration with the Children's Museum at Saratoga, children in Grades 3-5 will learn about the life and struggles of the inventor of the home security system, Marie Van Brittan Brown. Find out how and why she came up with this invention and learn about the struggles she faced as a black female inventor growing up in the mid-20th century. Then we’ll get our thinking hats on as we come up with our own security system.
A kit of materials to go along with the program will be provided for all registered patrons.
Kit pick up will be from Monday, February 14th - Tuesday, February 22nd.
The program was developed by grant funds from the Museum Association of New York as part of their Building Capacity project.
