Hispanic Inventors, a Hispanic Heritage Speech

Hispanic Inventors have contributed immensely to our society. What would the modern world be without color television, intravascular stents 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.

This speech was created in commemoration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Why a speech or workshop about Latino 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 endeavor 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 but there is an extra spark that's hard to account for.

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 to catapult inspiration and achievement.
