From ironing boards to classroom innovation: celebrating Sarah Boone this Black History Month, This Black History Month, we turn our attention to Sarah Boone, a trailblazing inventor whose insight still resonates in design & technology classrooms today.

Her design featured a narrow, curved board that corresponded to the inside and outside seams of sleeves, plus a movable support to flip the board for pressing...
