Mad Scientist: Electricity

About this event

Makerspace. Welcome to the electrifying world of science! Ever wondered how Thomas Edison lit up the world? Join us at the library as we recreate his classic experiment to make an electric light using batteries, wire, and simple graphite. But that’s not all—what is electricity without its best friend, magnetism? Together, we'll harness their combined powers with a battery, wire, and a piece of metal to literally defeat gravity! Plus, for those who want to see raw electricity in action, we’ll have a Van de Graaff generator and a plasma lamp ready to light up the room. Put a spark in your step and join us for a shocking amount of fun! This program is designed for 10-17 year olds. Registration is required and space is limited.
