About TIBIT

The Institute of Black Inventors & Technology(TIBIT). is the only traveling museum that exclusively highlights the achievements of African American men, women, and youth in science and innovation. Carroll and Sandra have amassed over 200 original artifacts or reproductions of these inventors/innovators. The museum’s collections are comprised of artifacts, photographs, books and other memorabilia to interpret the stories of African American’s in STEAM. They have obtained these artifacts from antique stores, flea markets, Ebay, bookstores, the inventors themselves and corporations to create an informative and impactful traveling museum that highlights the accomplishments and contributions of African American’s who have largely gone unrecognized in our nation’s history.
