Battery Builders

How can the properties of objects affect how we use them?
Are you tired of your tablets, phones and toys losing power when you're in the middle of using them? Join Fernando as he talks about his drive to understand how things work and design a better battery. 

Using the overarching goal of designing improved devices 
students explore properties of materials and engineering as they ask themselves:

"How can we make a better battery?"

What would you do with a lighter, longer lasting battery?
