Have you ever seen a video where it looked like a car's wheels or a helicopter's blades were spinning backwards? This optical illusion is called the wagon wheel effect, named after old movies where it looked like wagon wheels were spinning backwards. This video explains what the wagon wheel effect is and how you can film it yourself at home with a fan or a drill. Written instructions for this fun STEM activity are available on the Science Buddies website:…
Have you ever caught your own reflection in a mirror, window, or pond, and wondered... how do mirrors actually work??

Mythbusters showed that you need two tanks to pull apart two phone books - but who has phone books anymore? Or easy access to tanks, for that matter. This video shows a downsized version of the "phone book friction" experiment using two pads of sticky notes. This is our first entry in the @veritasium Science Communication Contest, and it's an abbreviated one-minute version of this longer video: https://youtu.be/joYnxJNL2UA

This is the prototype RGB LED Time Fountain I designed and built. It uses RGB LED strip lights to strobe a stream of water drops to make them appear as if they are levitating. By strobing the different colours out of phase with each other some incredible effects can be created.
An Arduino Uno controls the timing of the RGB strobe and the PWM of the pump. Bluetooth communication was achieved using an HC-05 Bluetooth module and the "Arduino bluetooth controller" app by "Giumig Apps".

Professor Ted Sargent is Vice President – International, at the University of Toronto, Canada, and a professor in the university’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. In an exclusive interview with BrainGain Magazine on Monday, March 27, 2017, he spoke about how he became interested in nanotechnology, how nano devices are created, and why engineering students should think like both engineers and entrepreneurs. Prof. Sargent also spoke about the role that students play in…
