Step into a world where science feels like magic with The Magic of Magnets, a 2hour STEM interactive program, girls get hands-on as they explore the invisible forces all around them, from magnetic fields to the pushandpull powers of attraction and repulsion. Girls become scientists as they: 🧲 Test real magnets to discover what sticks, what doesn't, and why. 🔍 Investigate magnetic poles and feel the surprising "push" of repulsion. 🌈 Reveal invisible magnetic fields and create magnetic field art. 🎨 Engineer their own magnetic mazes, guiding metal pieces through puzzles using DIY magnetic wands. 💧 Experiment with magnets in liquids, predicting and testing how oil, soap, and more change magnetic strength. Build a tiny spinning motor using copper wire, a battery, and a neodymium magnet! Throughout the experience, girls practice curiosity, teamwork, problemsolving, and creative thinking, all while discovering how magnets appear in everyday life: phones, refrigerators, toys, tools, headphones, and even Earth itself! By the end, each girl leaves with new STEM confidence, a deeper understanding of physical science, and a big spark of excitement for exploring how the world works. If you would like to see this program with your troop, please contact Mika Lissade mlissade@gscsnj.org!
