Description
Team Electromagnet STEM Engineering Design Challenge
Objective:
In teams, build the strongest electromagnet you can using the materials provided. Then use the micro:bit magnetometer to measure the strength of your electromagnet in microteslas (μT).
Team Name:
Team Members:
Design Description
Briefly describe how you built your electromagnet. What did you do to try to make it as strong as possible? (Think: number of coils, type of core, battery setup, etc.)
Measured Magnetic Field Strength
Maximum magnetic strength recorded using micro:bit: _______________________________ μT
✅ Did your design change during the build process?
☐ Yes ☐ No
If yes, what did you change and why?
