The Boy Who Drew TV

Meet Philo Taylor Farnsworth in an AMAZING true story of curiosity and invention! Follow a farm boy who sees straight lines in a plowed field and turns that idea into the first fully electronic television. This adventure is perfect for young explorers who love science, gadgets, and real-life heroes. Ben & Pia guide you through the sounds, the lab work, and the courtroom drama in a gentle, exciting way. Historical Fun Fact: Philo drew a scanning rectangle on a high school chalkboard that later helped prove his invention in a patent fight against a giant company. Did you know? The first working fully electronic television transmission from Philo's lab in 1927 showed just a single bright line — but that line proved the idea worked! Which story do you want to hear next?
