Riding on a Beam of Light

Riding on a Beam of Light vividly illuminates the power of a child's imagination by illustrating the night young Albert Einstein had one of his most ground-breaking and influential ideas. Einstein's fascination with riding a beam of light led him to do well in school, pursue physics, win a Nobel Prize and become the name that he his today.

Riding on a Beam of Light is a touch point for parents to frame a conversation on the power of children's own imaginations. As a boy, Albert Einstein loved to imagine. His childhood fascination with light, how it travelled, and what it would be like to ride on a beam of light inspired his interest in physics and led to his world-renowned theories.
