Alchemist Academy: Twirling Thaumatropes

Step into the world of magical motion with Alchemist Academy on the Bookmobile! Young alchemists will uncover the secrets of optical illusions as they craft their own thaumatrope—a spinning toy that brings images to life. Participants will explore the fascinating science behind persistence of vision and how our eyes and brains work together to create the illusion of movement. Join us for hands-on fun, where art and science collide in a twirl of imagination!
