Electromagnetism workshop
Experience electricity and magnetism in a whole new way with your students during a themed workshop at the Électrium, Hydro-Québec’s electricity interpretation center located in Sainte-Julie, just outside Montréal.
Discover an original way of applying classroom learning as you see concepts come to life. Students can put their knowledge to the test, engage in hands-on activities, experiment, hypothesize and be challenged at three interactive exhibits: the transformer, the electromagnet and the electric motor.
