Lonnie Johnson is an amazing scientist who invented one of the most fun summer toys ever! When he was a little boy, he loved to build things and even made a robot out of scrap metal. When he grew up, he became an engineer and worked on real spaceships for NASA. But his most famous invention happened completely by accident while he was working on a special water pump in his bathroom!
The pump shot a powerful blast of water across the room, and Lonnie realized it would make an awesome toy. He turned his brilliant idea into the Super Soaker water gun! Now, kids all over the world can have epic water battles on hot summer days. Lonnie shows us that science can be incredibly fun and full of happy surprises!
