Franklin Institute

I'm sure there are many people that will be disappointed over the years thinking like this is purely just the star Wars museum.

And frankly, if you want that, that's the traveling exhibit that they're starting at the Franklin Institute in February, which is purely stuff from the Lucasfilm archive that, and Disney archives that is curated together to tell a story both interactively and thematically about 50 years of making Star Wars in all the different forms of media.

This is not that.

So I guess the question I want to pose to you now is what does narrative art mean to you? When it says Lucas Museum, we get that.

Oh, that's wonderful.

It was great to see it over here at the Franklin Institute here in Ethiopia.

It was wonderful.

We came for the opening.

I feel very fortunate that we were able to cross paths with her the two times we have so far and hopefully more.

I actually, I don't know if I told you this, but I was at the Franklin Institute in Philly with the kids earlier this year.

And they have like a space thing and they show what's it'll be like to live on Mars, yada, yada, and stuff for the kids.

And they have like these big screens and people are engineers are talking about it.

Reach Cyber's Charter School is encouraging its students to build their best year yet.

Philadelphia area students and their families were invited to meet their teachers and classmates in person at the Franklin Institute in Center City.

Students also had a chance to participate in a variety of hands-on STEM games and activities.

And finally tonight, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia celebrating a new era of creating medical breakthroughs.

Showing a nice, quiet, calm morning.

We see, of course, lit up in green there for the Franklin Institute.

We're talking about a little bit of humidity, but tonight, Karen, I'm really

Before long, Tesla was also sketching out the fundamentals of radio technology.

In an 1893 lecture at the Franklin Institute, later popularized by Century Magazine, illustrating the concept of telegraphy without wires, he first underlined the importance of grounding the transmitter and receiver to astonished onlookers.

The same year, Tesla's company achieved its greatest accomplishment to date after lighting up the Chicago venue hosting the World's Columbian Exposition entirely with alternating current, an honor that Tesla procured after outbidding General Electric by $1 million.

By 1894, Tesla had gained the admiration of his peers and was awarded honorary doctoral degrees from Columbia and Yale universities, as well as the Elliott Cresson Medal by the Franklin Institute.

More good news followed after the Tesla Electric Company was contracted to build the first-ever hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, a childhood dream of Tesla's that became a reality in 1895 after the first schematics were unveiled.

The Niagara facility was an accomplishment that represented the ultimate defeat of the direct energy school of thought, and Tesla was lavished with the highest praise and honors, including even the Order of Danilo from King Nicholas of Montenegro, as his achievement was celebrated worldwide as an important step for the future of humanity.

Oh, I feel way better now.

That's the Franklin Institute, my nigga.

Oh, thank God they can take that.

He got it right the first time.

The Franklin Institute awarded him the John Scott Medal in 1889.

He founded the Van Canel Revolving Door Company and kept refining the design, installing them at the Waldorf Astoria in New York and the Hotel Regina in Paris.

In 1907, International Steel bought the business, and it survives today as the International Revolving Door Company.
