Boston University and the Optical Society of America host a Family Optics Day with demonstrations of optics and hands-on activities for future scientists and engineers. On the 9th Floor BU Photonics Center (8 St. Mary’s Street, Boston.)Family Optics Day is an educational event to expose kids (of all ages) to the fascinating area of optics. Structured like a science fair, there will be separate tables, each presenting a demonstration on different aspects of optics.
All demos are hands on, and some will involve making/building a take home craft. (Kaleidoscopes, beaded bracelets that change colors in the sun) The event is free, including plenty of free food.
So, come learn how lenses work (with Jello!), why the primary colors aren't actually red blue and yellow, how to send music across a room using a laser pointer, and much much more!
