2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Sunday, April 22, 2018

Location:
Main Library
449 Broadway
Community Room
Cambridge

Come play with magnets and coils of wire to understand how they can create electricity and electromagnets! Then look inside an induction cooktop to see how those same ideas heat up the pans and then your food.

Learn from the researchers at HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) why induction is faster, cleaner, safer and more efficient than gas and conventional electric, how these stoves can make the air in your home healthier for your family, and even fight climate change!
