SciWow! Weekend - Behind the Screen! CRTs and TVs

We’re putting a new spin on SciTech Saturdays!  Welcome to SciWow! Weekends!

Each month SciWow! Weekend will feature a short video lesson and activity featuring our exhibits.  The activity will be available in the Rotunda all weekend long.  Participation is free for members and with admission.

This month’s SciWow! topic will honor the birthday of Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of the fully electronic television.  Learn about the history of TVs, monitors, and how they work.  You can also make and take home your own mini papercraft TV!
