“Now he thinks science can be cool. He’s starting to look at how physics is around us everyday.”
“Shows that science is fun, and there are explanations to ‘magic’!”
“It brings to life how physics applies to everyday life and helps them to appreciate how studying and understanding the laws of physics enables us to accomplish new things.”
“I think that they have gained a better intuition of physics. They are all artistic children, but I think that physics is important to art as well.”
“This is great exposure to science for kids. It makes them excited to do more experiments. Thank you so much for offering it!”
