Ancient Greeks flicked discs, and beginning in the 1920s, college kids at Yale University were tossing pie tins.Fred's invention quest began in 1932 after tossing a tin popcorn lid around the backyard. For more than twenty years, Fred and his wife, Lu, tried and failed to perfect a flying-disc concept. Eventually they created what we know today as the Frisbee.Fun and fact-filled, this Frisbee origin story is sure to delight sports and STEM fans alike.
