Blips on a Screen: How Ralph Baer Invented TV Video Gaming and Launched a Worldwide Obsession Hardcover – Picture Book, 3 May 2022

I bought this book for my 9 year old interested in STEM. This is a great story any budding scientist:mathematician can relate to as they learn the story of Ralph Baer overcome adversity and truly optimize perseverance as he invents the home video gaming system and other beloved electronic games like Simon.The book has a timeline in the end which shows all of the milestones in this gentleman’s life and I didn’t think much of it at the time, but my son spends time studying it. It’s a great way to create a visual appendix for a child to get greater detail about this man’s interesting life.

Since my 5th graders are into video games, this was a great book to learn about their origin!!
