- 2. 1957 - Sergei Korolyov built an artificial satellite, which would become the first ever. This satellite Sergei called 'Sputnik'. Sergei thought of the possibilities of sending a radio into ______, which would then circle the earth.
- 3. 1903 - Wilber and Orville Wright made the first controlled and powered airplane. They studied the flight of the ____ then thought about wing warping.
- 6. 1912 - Garrett Morgan was an African American entrepreneur who created the first ever safety hood. Morgan was struck by the news he received while reading a newspaper of a burning clothing factory which killed 146 people. Morgan experimented on the deadly effects of fire to learn that the air near the ______ was breathable. Morgan then pieced together a respiratory mask with tubes reaching near to the floor. Fire departments would later buy Garrett Morgan's invention.
- 7. 1983 - Robert "Bob" Khan invented the transmission control protocol and internet protocol (TCP/IP). Bob began his work with the DARPA in 1972. And he worked on the ARPANET, which was the primitive forerunner to what? _________. There was a growing demand worldwide to send and receive information by computer. Bob with the help of Vint Cerf, both invented a language that computer networks worldwide could understand. This they called TCP/IP.
- 10. 1937 Donald Hings created the Walkie-talkie after an experience he had being stranded in the jungle with other geologists. There was no technology small enough to carry around with antennas powerful enough for voice signals. Hings made a device with smaller components strong enough to send and receive voice signals. Military ___________ has been forever changed.
- 11. 1925 – John Logie Baird invented the first television ever. What was he looking at in his house, believing that he could put an image on it? _______
- 12. Trek 1972 - Marty Cooper invented the very first cellular phone. Phones (house phones, phone booths and car phones) until that time would pick up and receive voice signals from the nearby radio antenna. Marty thought of many smaller versions of this antenna he then called a cellular network. Marty saw a mobile hand device on TV and thought of making phones mobile. Where did he get this idea? _________.
- 14. 1902 - Willis Carrier invented modern air conditioning. It was Carriers job was to control room ____________ without making the air dry. It was a foggy evening at the train station which gave Carrier an idea. Willis Willis Carrier made a box with a fan, trapped hot air a spray for water, and a hose for dry air. The trapped hot air formed vapor.
- 15. 1941 - Konrad Zuse (who invented the first computer) was an engineer at an aircraft company who did math equations. So everything had to be imputed by hand. So he thought of a machine which could do all of the complex calculations without having to do all details by hand. Konrad would build a machine which not only do mathematical calculations, but would also think for itself. Zuse thought of a language which both man and computer could understand. He came up with an ancient mathematical system called _______.
- 16. 1912 - Štefan Banic became the inventor who devised the first successful military parachute. Štefan created a parachute with air resistance unlike those made before it. Where did Štefan get this idea? ________. Hint: people will leave this in their closet or their car.
- 18. 1906 - Reginald Fessenden created the first radio signal. There was a demand for wireless communication at the time.Fessenden took a walk to the park one day. And the drop of a rock in the pond which created ripples that gave him an idea. Fessenden used an alternator to send a combination of sound and radio ____ which was sent to a large antenna which would then transmit voice to far receivers.

- 1. 1939 - Igor Sikorsky, a renowned aircraft designer comes up with his prized invention; the helicopter. This unusual type of aircraft arrived at a time when there was no aircraft versatile enough to zip through narrow canyons or hover over ________without the need for a runway. This helicopter would be capable of hovering motionless while saving people from sinking ships.
- 4. 1997 - Philippe Kahn makes the first camera phone ever while in the waiting room of a hospital ward. Philippe's wife was about to give birth to their first child. So Philippe wanted not only take pictures, but also send the photo images directly to his family and friends. So Philippe pulls out his cell-phone, digital camera, and laptop. He thought about sending the images from his digital camera, through his phone, and to a computer at home. After taking a picture of his wife and newborn, Philippe (connecting all three devices) transfers the images from his camera to his laptop, and from his laptop he sends images plus ______announcement to his cell-phone which would then send those images and message wirelessly to his home computer which is programmed to send everything automatically to other computers.
- 5. 1926 – Robert H. Goddard became the father of space exploration when he invented the first rocket ever. What did Goddard experiment with before creating the first rocket? ____________
- 8. 1914 - Reginald Fessenden created the Sonar Detector. It was two years ago to the month that the Titanic sank. Fessenden created an oscillator which would not only receive signals, but send them. This oscillator would send sound waves to an object like an iceberg or an enemy ship, and then send them back to the oscillator. This would work like an ____. Hint: you can hear this from the Grand Canyon.
- 9. 1991- Trevor Baylis creates the windup radio after watching a documentary of many children in Africa who are dying of aids. Though the world has access to these third world counties, these third world countries do not have access to the world. Trevor finds a transistor radio and instead of batteries, uses a dynamo which if turned could become a sufficient power source. A dynamo can if turned, add _________ to a light. The dynamo with seat belt spring would power the wind up radio for 14 minutes. Trevor's invention has been getting people in third world countries better informed since.
- 13. 1960 - Harry Wexler was a meteorologist who was instrumental in the development of the first weather satellite. What destructive force Harry has been trying to study in order that he may warn people of its coming? _________
- 17. 1966 - Ralph Baer creates the first ever video game console. Ralph also believed that television could be less passive and more interactive. What was the name of the first gaming system to ever hit the market? _________.
