Explore the surprising science of magnetism through hands-on mini-activities that let guests test, observe, and experiment with magnetic forces.
Magnet Lab is a hands-on STEAMfest activity where guests can explore magnetism through a series of fun mini-experiments. Visitors can test which poles attract or repel, see how magnets affect a compass, reveal invisible magnetic field lines with iron filings, turn electricity into magnetism with an electromagnet, and discover which everyday materials are magnetic.
This activity invites guests to observe, predict, and experiment like scientists. With simple interactive stations and eye-catching demonstrations, Magnet Lab makes invisible forces easier to see and understand while encouraging curiosity, careful observation, and discovery.
STEAMteam
STEAMfest is made possible with the help of hundreds of organizations and volunteers, both within the Woodlawn School Community and without. The STEAMteam is responsible for the planning, promotion, organization, and execution of STEAMfest.
Each year the STEAMteam creates a number of activity booths based on the teams skills and experience.
