Because he needed to know when to come in and do household chores because he was to poor to have a maid and was not married.
Benjamin Banneker had no contributions to math
he made America's first functional clock out of wood. Also he made an almanac with the weather, proverbs and legends. He made dams in ditches to help water his family's crops
He studied from books from the libraries and his momma!!
Benjamin Banneker, an African American mathematician and astronomer, is best known for his work in surveying and predicting solar and lunar eclipses. He accurately calculated the cycles of the planets and stars, contributing to the development of almanacs. Banneker's mathematical calculations were crucial in accurately predicting astronomical events and establishing a foundation for future advancements in mathematics and astronomy. His work showcased the intellectual capabilities of African Americans during a time of widespread discrimination and inequality.

No, Benjamin Banneker did not invent the first clock. He was known for his work as a mathematician, astronomer, and surveyor. Banneker is famously known for his wooden clock that he built in the 18th century.

The clock
Benjamin Banneker in 1753
He made a clock which struck on the hour - not exactly a cuckoo clock. Furthermore, clocks in which mechanical birds announced the hour had been invented about two thousand years previously so Banneker can hardly have been said to have invented one!
23 years, 15 hours, 34 mins, and 12.29453 seconds.
Benjamin Banneker did not invent the cuckoo clock; this invention is typically attributed to German clockmakers in the 18th century. Banneker was known for his work as a mathematician, astronomer, and inventor, particularly in the field of clocks, where he created a striking wooden clock that kept accurate time. His innovations were largely inspired by his interest in nature and the mechanics of timekeeping, but there is no direct connection between him and the cuckoo clock specifically.
