Discover the magic of electricity by building your own mini Tesla coil!

Join students from UTEP’s Physics Department as we bring science to life demonstrating how electromagnetic fields and high-voltage circuits can create tiny lightning bolts and even power small lights wirelessly. Inspired by Nikola Tesla’s revolutionary ideas, this experiment makes learning about physics and engineering both fun and exciting.

Perfect for kids, teens, and adults, this workshop is designed to be engaging and easy to follow, even for beginners! You’ll explore the basics of electronics, work with coils, transistors, and circuits, and see the power of wireless energy in action. Whether you love science or just enjoy hands-on projects, this is an electrifying experience you won’t want to miss!
