What was the first photograph?

Have you ever tried sitting completely still without blinking, itching, or sneezing for eight whole hours? That’s exactly what you had to do to be in the very first photograph! Join Mira and Finn on a time-traveling adventure to discover how cameras actually work! First, we’ll travel back a thousand years to ancient Egypt with a brilliant scientist named Ibn al-Haytham. He discovered the magical "camera obscura"—a completely dark room that projected moving pictures of the outside world completely upside down on the wall! Then, we'll visit French inventors Nicéphore Niépce and Louis Daguerre, who finally figured out how to trap light on sticky metal plates to create permanent pictures. You won't believe how a man getting his shoes shined accidentally became the first human ever photographed! Finally, we'll zoom into the modern world to learn how heavy, bowling-ball-sized digital cameras turned into the super-fast phone cameras we use today. Discover the amazing science of bouncing light, millions of microscopic digital pixels, and the incredible history of photography. Get ready to smile and say cheese!
