== Demonstration == ;Stage: # Ask the audience if they have ever played air hockey. Ask those who raised their hands if any of them have noticed how the air hockey table works. # Show the hoverboard, and explain that it is the '''''Science Theatre Air Hockey Puck''''', or '''STAHP'''. point out the membrane on the bottom with holes throughout it, which gives an effect similar to what you see with an air hockey table. # Ask for a volunteer from the audience. Have them stand in the center of the hoverboard, holding the hose in the pvc pipe hole. Turn the blower on high, and watch as the board starts moving! If needed, help them orient themselves on top, and figure out how to steer on the board. # Have the volunteer return to their seat, and hover on the hoverboard yourself! ;Hands-on: # Set up the hoverboard, and ask students as they come up if they would like to try to ride it. If so, have them stand in the center of the board and hold the hose in the pvc pipe hole, and then turn the blower on high. Let each student hover on the board for 10 seconds or so before having the next student try to ride it. # Be sure to give a brief explanation for the hoverboard to the students. If you have a line forming, you can give the whole line the explanation before having them take turns on it.
