Becky schroeder, glo-sheet
Becky was only 10 years old when she was attempting to do homework in her mom car. As it got darker outside, she had the idea that there should be a way to make her paper easier to see in the dark. Becky took matters into her own hands and began playing around with phosphorescent materials, which emitted light but without heat. She then used phosphorescent paint to cover an acrylic board and the Glow-Sheet was created. In 1974, at the age of 12, Becky became the youngest women to be granted U. S. patent for her Glo-Sheet invention.
