Martha created signals flares with the design from her husband. Martha was 24 and a widow with four children. She found her husbands design for a flare and created it. But there are always challenges while creating things. The two challenges Martha ran into is they had to be simple, and the other problem is how to make them durable, bright, and long lasting. She worked on the design for years then a idea struck her, she should use a firecracker for the base of her design. She elaborated a plane to include fireworks into the night flares. The U.S Navy paid Martha $20,000 for the patent and a contract to allow her to manufacture them. The flares have helped the U.S win wars and save many lives. So thanks to Martha J. Coston we have something to use to help save people and win wars.

Before that happened, Helen the few times that she got, she worked with sewing and had constructed her own method that helped her sew. The Zig Zag Stitch. She saw a problem, that the stitch was not sturdy enough, and she fixed it. In society today, that's exactly what engineers do. Helen was her own engineer of her time, helping change the world step by step. Helen and other, engineers, help shape our world to this day.
