CLEVELAND — A hundred years ago, inventor Garret A. Morgan was awarded the patent for the first ever 3-way traffic signal, it was developed and installed right here in Cleveland.
Morgan, a prolific inventor and trailblazer, is just one example of some amazing inventors and creators that have all called Northeast Ohio home, so our Mike Polk Jr. decided to celebrate that long legacy of innovation with a game of trivia at the recent Accelerate pitch competition.
Accelerate is a pitch competition from Cleveland Leadership Center which gives individuals across greater Cleveland the chance to win seed money to help launch their idea to make the region a better place - and Mike himself, once again, played host on competition night.
Ever-inspired by the creativity and talent on display, Mike shared some of his own great ideas with the crowd, and wanted to share them with 3News viewers as well.
Fittingly, the latest episode of "The Ultimate Cleveland Show with Mike Polk Jr." is all about Accelerate and Cleveland innovations.
It's streaming now on WKYC+ so be sure to check it out, and don't forget to put your Cleveland Inventions knowledge to the test.
