Apr. 6, Friday, 7:30pm-9:30pm
From the discovery of electrostatis to the invention of batteries, to the diverse electrically-powered devices of the modern world, Dr. Paul Doherty makes electricity fun as he shares hands-on activities.
Dr. Doherty, visiting Auburn from the San Francisco Exploratorium, is a world-renown presenter on science topics. Having presented to audiences and competed in Africa to Europe and right here in Placer County, he is a master at presenting complex concepts in easy to understand and engaging ways.
From the marriage of electricity and magnetism to how to make electromagnetic waves, he will also discuss electric currents and voltage and the importance of electric safety around the house.
Dr. Doherty has taken interactive physics to an entirely new level of fun. He will remove any "resistance" you have to electricity as he sends "currents" of excitement through the audience with easy to do and understand investigations (don't worry - they are all entirely safe!).
