 Optics -- Lighting the
Way to the Future:
In this camp for students in grades nine through twelve,
students become optics researchers, learning the process of
manufacturing fiber optics, guiding light through fiber optics,
learning how a modern telecommunication system works, and
work alongside University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences
professors, scientists, and students on a variety of hands-on
optics experiments.
