Nathan just finished a project at school. They had to choose someone that they admire(their HERO) and do a report about them. Nathan's first choice was Inspector Gadget. He was quickly told that Gadget (although cool and robotic) wasn't a real person. So............ his next choice was Thomas Alva Edison. What a great choice. As Nathan said, "He is my hero because he is just like me". They both love science, doing experiments, inventing things and thinking outside the box. Our family now knows more about Mr. Edison than ever before. He invented so many things that effect our life today!
"I have an idea"- that's right, Mr. Edison invented the electric light bulb that replaced gas lamps back in 1879. He also invented the phonograph, the first movie camera and many others!
Besides a written report on his hero- listing who they were, where they grew up, what were their accomplishments and why you think they are a hero and why you want to be like them- the kids also had to make a poster (mommy helped a little bit)
Part of Nathan's assignment was to dress like their hero. In most pictures of Mr. Edison, you would see him wearing a bow tie and vest. I think Nathan makes a great T.A.E.
