ELECTROMAGNET BUILD CHALLENGE
2024
BUILD IT. POST IT. SHARE IT.
Join Us for the 200th Invention Anniversary!
3 Steps To Complete The Build Challenge:
1. BUILD IT
You will learn some basic STEM knowledge about an electromagnet and then build one yourself by hand.
Begin your STEM EDUCATION JOURNEY by building an electromagnet today. Learn the FUNdamentals behind the electromagnet, like electromagnetism and create an invisible force you control. You will also begin to build a visible force for yourself with a STEM education. These are just some of the many reasons to complete the build challenge.
2. POST IT
Make STEM history by uploading a picture of your electromagnet and get added to the Builders List.
Use our "Post It" page to upload a pic of your working electromagnet and a short bio. You will be added to our official Builders List once your electromagnet picture is verified. You can also look up students who have completed the build challenge. Next, share your building skills and story with other STEM students on our "Share It' page.
3. SHARE IT
Share your build with a community of STEM learners, builders and students. Start networking today!
Use our "Share It" page to share your unique electromagnet build experience with other students who like to talk STEM. Connect with students from around the world and make friends while having fun discussing STEM. Remember, building the electromagnet is only a small part of this build challenge. A FUNtastic journey of discovery awaits you.
