The World of Electromagnetism (IN-PERSON)

Electromagnetism is one of the most fundamental topics in physics, and one of the most misunderstood. Most students encounter it as abstract formulas and diagrams. 

This 5-day workshop flips the approach.

Students build experiments, construct solenoids, and engineer a working motor from scratch. When you build it with your hands, the physics clicks in a way no textbook can replicate.

Grades 8–10 is when students form their relationship with physics. A strong, intuitive grasp of electromagnetism at this stage doesn’t just help with school exams, it builds the foundation for competitive prep and long-term confidence in the sciences.

Led by Dr. Sonali Dasgupta (PhD, IIT Delhi), the curriculum is rigorous yet accessible, moving from electricity and magnetism to real-world engineering applications.

WHAT WILL STUDENTS LEARN?

• Electrostatics & Electricity: Understand the forces that power our world, through experiments
• Magnets & Magnetism: Understand the science behind MRI machines and maglev trains through building working models
• Oersted’s groundbreaking experiment: Recreate the experiment that changed science
• Electromagnetism: Understand the breakthrough that made almost all modern technologies possible
• Build electromagnets and solenoids: The same principles behind real-world engineering
• Build a working motor: After all, a motor is just a permanent magnet and an electromagnet put together!
