TEACHER RESOURCES

I would encourage teachers of all levels to attend ETOP.  There are so many varied careers in optics and photonics and the only way to build this work forces is by starting with high school teachers.  By attending ETOP, teachers will build an awareness of opportunities available for themselves and their students and build a network of resources.”

Help us celebrate the International Day of Light and you could receive a Free Space Optical Communications Kit.  

The kit contains a speaker, microphone, breadboard, resistor, LEDs, and wires.  Demonstrate how sound can be turned into light, sent across open space, and then back into sound again.  Also includes lesson plans and demonstration suggestions.  Kits are sent to the first 40 teachers who sign up, one kit per teacher.
