This program developed by The Franklin Institute, in partnership with Penn State MRSEC, through funding by the National Science Foundation and Penn State University, is a set of eight eight cart-based, hands-on activities that highlight concepts of energy, electricity generation, and efficiency. Demonstrations of real phenomena will appeal to visitors of all ages, while interactive macro-scale models foster a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms at the atomic scale. These activities raise awareness of energy materials and their applications and build understanding of the invisible forces at work.
