HotPopRobot recently set up a stall to teach kids how to make paper windmills, demonstrate scientific experiments using balloons, and make simple homopolar motors. Over a hundred kids came, and went back happily with a windmill in hand and newly learned skills.

Science is fun and science experiments attract kids like magnets. Speaking of magnets, kids learnt how to make simple homopolar motor using a wire, battery, nail and a magnet.
