"Athletic Games of Friction" Online Workshop
Friction plays a crucial role in our daily lives, particularly in sports. Without friction, activities like athletics, gymnastics, rock climbing, and equestrian sports would be impossible. During the summer holiday, why not join our online workshop while enjoying the Olympic Games to explore the wonderful and imperceptible nature of friction!
