Without force, electricity, and magnetism, we would literally be in the dark and the everyday gadgets, appliances, motors (and the list goes on) would not simply not function. We use these indispensable forces every day, but how do they each work? And more importantly, how are they connected to one another? 

Join Google Science Fair 2011 Finalist and senior at Phillips Academy Andover - Skanda Koppula - as he dives into “the force” of electricity and magnetism. He will be demonstrating the interconnection between these forces. Using these household items (a wire, a magnet and a light bulb) he will test some of the theories principles governing the connection. 

Bring your questions and curiosity to follow along with Skanda and the other #deSTEMber participants at 10 AM PST / 12PM CST / 1 PM EST.
