Event description

Two like poles of magnets repel and two opposite poles attract.  Inquisitive kids, teens, and adults will first learn how to harness that force to keep something spinning, then make a working motor with only a magnet, wire, paper clips, and a battery. 

Q&A session follows the program.

Presented by Dr. Dan Tomandl, Emeritus Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Northwest University, Kirkland.
