Magic for muggles! Learn how some of Harry Potter’s magic is possible with modern science, through re-creating magic spells and phenomena using chemistry and physics.

Necessary Equipment

You need full motion videoconferencing equipment. This technology allows COSI and your class to see and hear each other in real-time. Common manufacturers of this equipment include Tandberg, Polycom, and PictureTel. This is not webcasting, so you need more than a camera and a computer.
