Science, music and smiles: Ed Moriarty and Jenny Sendova visit 75th Primary School "Todor Kableshkov"

On 11 November, 75th Primary School “Todor Kableshkov” hosted a wonderfully fun and inspiring event. Around 20 fourth-graders eagerly welcomed Ed Moriarty, an instructor at the Edgerton Center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Jenny Sendova. The two quickly won the children over – so much so that, according to the students themselves, Ed looks exactly like Santa Claus!

Physics through waves and music

The workshop was all about hands-on experimenting and creativity. The young students made waves – first with their hands, then with sticks – to explore how waves move and spread.

Music and song completed the creative atmosphere: Jenny Sendova played the piano while the children sang, bringing science and art together in the most natural way.

Electrodes, lamps and a promise to return

Some of the children also took their first steps in electronics – connecting electrodes and managing to light a lamp.

The excitement is set to continue: Ed has left materials for every child. Jenny and Max, a student at SoftUni Buditel, will visit the school again so that every child can make a lamp of their own.
