Mother's Day weekend kicked off with the regional science fair at George Mason University. It was such a treat see this guy march off confidently with his cohort to present his poster to the judges, come back afterward jazzed up at all the questions he fielded, and then win fourth place/honorable mention in his division. Everyone enjoyed the public session checking out all the posters in all the age divisions. Then it was time for the public session and awards ceremony. Keaton jumped out of his seat with so much excitement when they called Aiden's name and Aiden looked at me with the widest excited, surprised eyes.
Aiden's project started when I asked him if he'd like to make and project and he immediately asked, "Yes, if I can defy gravity?!" It was seemingly out of the blue, but it sparked the whole goal of his project. How much force does it take for a magnet to levitate? And how can he create a device to measure it?
