"Magnetism and You" is a class designed to get kids excited about quantum physics and its impact on our lives! In this engaging class, students will learn about how magnetism is critical to life on earth, and how magnets and electromagnets are used in everyday life in hidden and surprising ways. This class includes a dynamic mix of activities, including hands-on experimentation, educational presentations, teacher demos and student discussion. 

In this class, students will learn about:
- Atoms and subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons)
- The cause of magnetism on the atomic level (electron spin)
- The Earth's magnetic field, how compasses work, and animals that use the magnetic field to navigate
- Permanent magnets 
- Electromagnets
- How electric motors work using a combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets
- How maglev (magnetic levitation) devices work
