Hispanic Inventors, a Hispanic Heritage Speech

Hispanic Inventors have contributed immensely to our society. What would the modern world be without color television, artificial hearts or concrete buildings? Not an easy place to imagine. What do these modern advancements have in common? They were all the brainchildren of Hispanic inventors. Each and every one of them has amazing stories of overcoming adversity to ultimately triumph and bring their creations to life.

I created this speech in commemoration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Why a speech or workshop about Hispanic Inventors, Scientists and Creativity? It’s important to reflect on our past roots to appreciate the present and embrace our future. Creativity, combined with execution, are the most powerful forces in any enterprise and if you look around carefully, it’s everywhere.

There are many misconceptions around Hispanic innovators, inventors and their relationship to creativity. Nothing comes from nothing. Inventors and innovators find their inspiration all around them based on previous works, learning, and concepts. The world today is so busy that it’s suppressing creative thought. Everyone has ideas. The successful execution of those ideas is what makes some people accomplish feats that transform humanity. These Hispanic inventors, many of which toiled in obscurity have incredible stories that are worth sharing.

Here are some of the famous Hispanic inventors

• Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena – Invented an early color television transmission system
• Luis Von Ahn – Inventor of the anti-spam and web robot captcha
