Make a Motor Workshop

Come along to the Make a Motor workshop and meet other 1st year Physics students!

Unfortunately, the Make a Motor Workshop will not run in September 2023.

Ever wondered just how simple you can make an electric motor? In our informal workshop, we'll be getting hands-on with batteries, magnets, wires, and other bits and bobs to see how electromagnetism can be harnessed for practical applications and a bit of amusement. Working in teams, we'll see who can make the most effective electric motor from the simplest combination of items. 

This Welcome Workshop has been designed for 1st year Undergraduate Physics & Astronomy students, and will take place in one of the labs you will be using during your first year at university. This is a great chance to meet other students on the programme while having a bit of fun with physics!
