As AAPI Heritage Month and Inventors Month are celebrated in classrooms across the country, we’re excited to highlight inventions from Asian American and Pacific Islanders that made the world a better place.

Happy Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month! AAPI Heritage observances started more than 40 years ago, when president Jimmy Carter formalized Public Law 95-419 and established a celebration of American citizens of Asian and Pacific Islander origin. Through the month of May, we will be highlighting the incredible contributions of AAPI innovators and engineers with a focus on STEM innovations and achievements.
