We are team 687D. The STEM superstar we chose is Hedy Lamarr. She is best known as an actress. She considered her beautiful face a curse because of all the heartbreak she felt because of it. But what people didn't know at the time is that she was a genius. She invented Frequency Hopping, which is used today in WIFI, Bluetooth, and GPS. George Antheil, a music composer best known at the time, worked with Hedy to figure out the technology and later made a patent. The video is a few seconds below three minutes and the credits are less than fifteen seconds. The video does have a credits section which provides the entrants, team number, the name of the video, proper music credit, and other information. In the video, we have actors dress up and act on screen and use special effects to give it a movie feel to symbolize Hedy's film career. This video was created only by students. No adults were involved in the production of this video. The music in the video was created using GarageBand and has not been created by anyone else but the students who produced this video. This video was created this year for the 2018 REC Foundation STEM Educational Video Challenge. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to create this video. We, as a team, are glad to have had the opportunity to learn about this wonderful woman in the STEM field. Here are some sources that helped shape the script: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/09/arts/music/09ball.html https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201106/physicshistory.cfm http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~jones/cscie129/nu_lectures/lecture7/hedy/pat2/index.html https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/hedy_lamarr http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/slang/1940s-slang.html http://articles.latimes.com/2000/jan/20/news/mn-55828
