📖 Hands-on experiments to understand electric currents

Through practical experiments, attendees discover how electricity is generated, how it moves, and how it is transmitted. With the help of a Van de Graaff generator, children and adults explore what electrical charges are and observe their most striking physical effects firsthand.

In addition, the workshop works with a hydraulic circuit to draw clear analogies between water circulation and electric current. This approach helps participants understand core concepts such as intensity, voltage, and electrical resistance in both series and parallel circuits.
