US EditionEngineering Students Recreate World’s First Television at Inventor’s Old School
- Final-Year engineering students at the University of Strathclyde recreated a working version of John Logie Baird's original 1926 mechanical television in 2025.
- The project arose from the students' awareness of Baird's legacy as the first to televise moving pictures and his studies at Strathclyde's predecessor institution.
- The recreated televisor follows Baird's prototype principles, using spinning nipkow disks and modern components like LEDs, while enabling mobile image transmission.
- Molly Barry said, "the sense of the history of it sank in," and Professor Graeme West called it "fantastic" to bring Baird's innovation to new engineers through this project.
- The project supports STEM outreach by inspiring school pupils, featured at events encouraging young women into STEM, and honors Baird's upcoming invention centenary on 2 October 2025.
