DIY speakers // Electromagnetics lesson

For out most recent outreach project I created a lesson plan for building a basic speaker out of mostly common household items. I wanted to make a demo about electromagnetics that was a highly kinetic and took away the “black magic” feeling of this one part of Electrical Engineering.

I decided to use speakers to explore this concept, as music is a universal human experience that makes translation easy. This also gives us an opportunity to touch upon signals (ElectroMagnetic Spectrum) concepts, specifically Fourier transforms, which seem to be a very confusing topic to people.

For this particular project I will just be linking to the lesson plan as it has already been formatted and has all the graphics and such built in. Lesson Plan
