🔋✨ Dive into the electrifying world of robotics as we embark on a journey with the young minds at Sailoi Labs! Inspired by a fascinating episode of “brainson.org” exploring the science of batteries, our kids are already well-versed in the magic of electricity. Now, let’s take a deeper plunge into the heart of robotics – the dynamic duo of batteries and motors. ⚙️🚗

From Sparks to Motors – Building on Electric Dreams

Having explored the basics of electricity through the engaging “Charged Up!” podcast, our curious minds are ready to unravel the secrets behind electronic motors. 💡💨

Electrons in Motion – The Dance of Motors

In our recent chat, we delved into how motors transform the flow of electrons into a magnetic force, interacting with magnets to set the motor into a mesmerizing spin. Imagine a dance where electricity and magnetism create a harmonious rhythm!

Dissecting the Dance – A Motor’s Anatomy Lesson

With the motor now spinning, we took the opportunity to embark on an exploratory journey. We carefully dissected the motor, examining its parts to gain insights into the inner workings. It’s not just about seeing the dance; it’s about understanding the steps and rhythms that make it possible.

Turning Dreams into Reality – The Challenge of the Small RC Car

Why stop at theory when we can turn dreams into reality? The challenge is set – let’s build more than a simple mini-4wd car; let’s push the boundaries with a small RC car! The excitement in the workshop is palpable as our young engineers gear up for the next thrilling project. 🏎️💨

Join us on this electrifying adventure as we harness the power of batteries and motors to bring our robotic dreams to life. From understanding the dance of electrons to conquering the challenge of an RC car, the journey has just begun! ⚡🤖

Oh, one last thing. Be careful when you give the kids anything with exposed wires to play with. Short-circuiting and fire hazard could very much happen. Within 1 hour after handing out the set, the battery case is already burnt. It was a perfect opportunity to tell them more about the danger of electricity, since they just experienced it first-hand.
