Reflecting on my recent experience at the working with kids at the youth community centre, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy from this insightful experience. Doing the presentation about the fascinating physics behind each component of the physics kit was not only an opportunity to share my passion for physics but also a chance to inspire young minds.
Along with my presentation, I also had an in real life demonstration of the already built verision of the physics kids which I did a visual demonstration on. I also gave the kids an opportunity to play with the each component the reinforce their understanding on what I have taught them during the presentation.
I could sense the curiosity and excitement in the room, whilst they were playing with the kit.
The highlight for many was the hand-cranked generator. The kids took turns cranking the handle and watching the small bulbs light up, a direct result of their effort. Through demonstrating the practical application of physics by the components of the kit, it underscored the relevance of science in everyday life and sparked curiosity about science.
In the end distributing the kits was a rewarding moment. As I watched the kids who were eager to build and experiment on their own, to share their creativity and newfound knowledge with their parents. I was really happy to see the kids so excited on working on the kit, seeing them helping each other with assembling the components was a heartwarming experience.
This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of hands-on learning. I was really insightful to see which components that kids enjoyed better than the other, which helps me improve my kit and costumise it the favour the interests of the kids. Their enthusiasm and curiosity reaffirmed my commitment to making physics accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
In conclusion, my presentation at the community centre was a fulfilling experience that allowed me to share my love for physics and witness the joy of learning in young minds. I am inspired to continue finding creative ways to teaching and inspiring the future generations love for science.
