The world as we know it has been shaped by inventors — brilliant minds who turned imagination into innovation. But can you match each inventor to their famous invention? In this quiz, you’ll be given the name of an invention, and your challenge is to choose the correct inventor from four options.
Inventions big and small have changed history: from electricity to airplanes, from vaccines to the internet. Sometimes we take these things for granted, but behind each was a person — often working through trial, error, and even failure — who brought a new idea to life. Learning about inventors helps us appreciate how creativity, determination, and vision drive progress.
Some inventors became famous in their lifetime — like Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. Others were recognized only later, after the impact of their work became clear. And many inventions were the result of collaboration — building on ideas from many cultures and time periods. In this quiz, you’ll explore a mix of well-known and surprising contributions to science, technology, and everyday life.
Whether you’re a history buff, a science fan, or just curious, this quiz will challenge your knowledge and inspire you to think about the people behind the inventions we use every day. Ready to test your inventor IQ? Let’s begin!
