Role Model
Hedy Lamarr was a famous Hollywood actress and also an avid inventor. She is the person behind advances in communication technology in the 1940s that led to today’s Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
She invented frequency hopping: a way of jumping around on radio frequencies in order to avoid a third party jamming your signal. When she invented it, it was meant to be used as a secret wartime communication system. She got a patent for it in August 1942, and then donated it to the U.S. military to help fight the Nazis.
