Summary

A time-tunnel trip that shows how some of history's greatest makers, creators, and ideas helped to shape the world of today. Who invented the car, different types of vaccinations, the light bulb or the microwave? The things we are surrounded by didn't just appear out of nowhere, they were conceived by talented inventors, scientists, and engineers. While some inventions were the result of teamwork and a long time in the lab, some inventions just happened to be made by accident or by looking for something else. Unravel how classic inventions and creators paved the way for the modern tools and technology we have today. Heureka! is a visual journey for children that shows how the ground-breaking masters from the past connect with the technology, culture, and medicine of today.
