Did you miss our G+ Hangout with a National Geographic inventor?
Watch our video, then check out TH Culhane’s blog for detailed
instructions on how to make your own motor and generator! What
could you make with a scouring pad, a paper towel, drain
cleaner, and an aluminum can tab? How about enough electricity
to power a flashlight? Join us for our next Google+ Hangout with
NG Explorer and Google Science Fair judge TH Culhane at his
laboratory in Germany for a do-it-yourself build-along event! In
support of Girlstart’s DeSTEMber focus on science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics, we’re building an electric motor,
a lemon battery, and a soda can tab that produces electricity
with materials mostly found at home. The best part? You can
build along with TH! Here is the list of what you will need to
get beforehand: Safety First… Gloves and goggles! 1. Super
