Celebrating Edison’s Birthday with a School Presentation

[AudioAntique]

We have been mentoring Noah, who has attended the APS shows for the past two years.  He is passionate about phonographs and enjoys their technology.  He especially likes the history of Thomas Edison.  He invited us to give a presentation on Edison and his inventions. To celebrate Edison’s birthday, we gave the presentation “Innovation and Invention”.  Noah demonstrated his Edison phonograph to his 5th grade STEM class they made  an Edison recording as each student shouted one of Edisons inventions into the phonograph horn.  It was a grand success as students learned how 1,093 of Edison inventions changed their world. They learned “There’s Always a Way to do it Better….Find It”

Great job!  You both are such an asset to our hobby and it's great that you offer your time to promote it, especially to the younger generations who will carry this hobby for years to come....passing on your accumulated knowledge so the information doesn't fade away to obscurity.    Keep up the great work and thanks again for all that you do!
