Ramsey received a very fun and interesting toy for his birthday (from Nana and Bumpa); a Star Wars Jedi Force Push Levitator. It's a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) toy. And, Ramsey loves science, so we're using this as an at-home learning tool, as well as something fun to play with!
It uses electrical charges to suspend and move objects (in this case, very light silver "streamer-like" circles and spheres) in mid-air using electrostatic force. You can "force push" with the Jedi training rod or "force pull" with your hand. Crazy cool!
It took Eric and I a few tries to get the hang of it. And, it took Ramsey more than a few tries, but he finally got the hang of it. So fun!
This picture isn't great, but the videos show a better idea of what happens. :-)
