Gearing Up for Spring
February 26 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Exelon Foundation Virtual STEM Day – Hands-on Session
Calling all high school-aged students in the Chicago, Philadelphia, DC, and Baltimore area!
Join us for an interactive session exploring the science of gears and gear ratios! Participants will build their own gear systems, experiment with different ratios, and see how the changes affect speed, torque, and mechanical advantage. Learn the fundamentals of gears and their real-world applications, from bicycles to engines, through engaging hands-on activities.
Registration is limited. Register by February 5th so we can ship you materials. Late registrations will not be accepted.
