S8_E7 April 7, 2022 L. Frank Baum's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published in 1900 and was a hit from the get-go. The Library of Congress declared it "America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale." While the story was first adapted for Broadway in 1903 and for film in 1910, it is probably the 1939 film starting Judy Garland that most people think of when one mentions The Wizard of Oz. In this episode of our educational webcast series STEM in 30, we'll explore some of the more fanciful parts of the story and dive deep into tornadoes, flying witches, hot air balloons and — what about those flying monkeys?
