The Girl With The Body Heat Lamp

Join Ben & Pia as we rewind to a real-life science adventure: the story of Ann Makosinski, a teen inventor who turned body heat into a glowing lamp! This amazing tale mixes curiosity, simple physics, and kindness — perfect for young minds who love experiments and real inventions. Learn how a warm hand and clever materials made light without batteries, and how one bright idea began at a kitchen table and shone on big stages. Historical Fun Fact: Ann used thermoelectric Peltier tiles which create electricity from a temperature difference between a warm side and a cool side — the same effect used in some coolers and quick heaters! Did you know? Could your own body heat ever power a small light or gadget where there is no electricity? Which story do you want to hear next?
