Banneker never attended college, and this fact highlights his genius, having mastered astronomy, writing and mathematics on his own. Had he been able to attend college and travel, I suspect Banneker would have been the mirror image of another Benjamin, who happens to be named Franklin. Both men were years ahead of their times sans much formal education in the traditional sense.
Benjamin Banneker made the first striking clock to be made completely in America. He published an Almanac from 1791 to 1796. He helped to survey the District of Columbia. He published a treatise on bees, did a mathematical study on the cycle of seventeen year locust and wrote passionately about the antislavery movement.
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!

No, Benjamin Banneker did not write six editions of the Farmer's Almanac. He wrote a series of six almanacs from 1792 to 1797, but it was titled "Benjamin Banneker's Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia Almanack and Ephemeris."
