Hedy Lamarr | Engineering and Invention

Content Provider	PBS LearningMedia
Description	Discover Hedy Lamarr’s contributions as a woman in STEM in this video from the American Masters film, Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story. Lamarr has received belated acknowledgement for inventing frequency hopping, the basis of secure wireless communications. But she was constantly inventing – she even had an inventing table in her trailer on movie locations! In the accompanying classroom activity, students follow in Lamarr’s footsteps and use the engineering design process to design a paper airplane. Additional support materials are available, including discussion questions, teaching tips, and a handout. For more engineering resources, check out the Teaching Engineering in New York collection page.
