About Thomas Edison's Secret Lab
Thomas Edison's Secret Lab is filled with fun, comedy, exploration and adventure that encourages kids to explore the limits of their imaginations. The series follows Angie, a 12-year-old prodigy and her young science club who accidentally discover Thomas Edison's Secret Lab - a 'tricked out' dream lab equipped with gizmos and gadgets, including two of Edison's very last inventions: a hol-ogram that brings Mr. Edison himself "to life," and a virtual reality machine that lets them go any-where. It even has a wacky (and slightly nervous) robot called Von Bolt, who becomes part of every adventure. In each of the episodes, Edison encourages and inspires the kids through a varie-ty of scientific and technological explorations and lots of other fun, whacky, wild and engaging top-ics, School House Rock style music videos and more.
