Rachel Zimmerman was only twelve years old when she invented what she is famous for. In the mid 1800's she created a device that helped people who couldn't communicate. She created a software program using blissymbols. She would later create something that translated the symbols in to written language. This invention benifited people with disablilities such as cerebral palsy. Later in her life she would study physics and space.
I picked this person because she seemed like an interesting person. I was very surprised thats she invented something so significant at the age of twelve. It shows that there is no age limit to creating something great. I also picked her because she helped people with disabilities and that is a very good thing to do.
