Product Description:
Many substantial contributions to science were due to the efforts of children and teens - curious and smart kids who often started with only a simple idea or sketch. This book spans a century to tell the stories of nine such kids, all of whom made lasting impacts in science. Included are some well-known innovators, such as Louis Braille and Robert Goddard, as well as lesser-known people like Philo Farsworth, the teen inventor of television, and Mary Anning, the young girl who became one of the world's most renowned paleontologists. Each chapter is a testiment to what young people can achieve through creativity, imagination and persistence.
