STEM activities for home from Farrat, to enjoy with your little engineers
Following Lockdown 3.0 we expect you’re pleased to see the kids enjoying school again, but maybe you’ve got a taste for some fun, educational activities? If you’re looking for something a bit different, the team at Farrat are putting together a range of STEM activity ideas for the next generation of engineers and scientists.
Here’s Applications Engineer Dominika Maciejewska showing you how to make a magnetic compass with just a bowl of water, some pins, a circle of paper, and a fridge magnet. Domi studied Materials Engineering in Bydgoszcz, Poland. She’s worked on projects ranging from houses and residential developments, through to international cultural centres and high-rise skyscrapers.
We hope you enjoyed making your compass!
- We’d love to see photos of your project so please email us your photos.
- If you like experiments measuring direction without technology, maybe you’d like to try measuring time next by making a sun dial? Get started
- If you’re looking for more ideas for STEM activities from Farrat then take a look at the team’s other videos.
