North Elementary fourth graders had a special visit from representatives of The Bakken Museum in Minneapolis. Those reps presented a program entitled, “War of the Currents,” in the school’s gym which included several hands-on learning opportunities.
According to the museum's website description of the War of the Currents assembly, “Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and the story of their feud provide a gateway into learning about the science, engineering, and history of electricity and how we generate it. This show engages students in thinking about this tricky topic through interactive storytelling, humor, and some fascinating demonstrations, including a finale that will leave students feeling energized about science.”
Since 1975, The Bakken Museum has been inspiring a passion for innovation by exploring the potential for science, technology, and the humanities to make the world a better place.
