Dear All,

"The Science and Technology Expo" is an open event to public in order to attract younger students from high-school, middle school or even elementary school. UNCC hold this event every year with several interesting experiments and activities which usually are designed and done by students from all departments. This year Science Expo is on April 24th from 12 pm to 4 pm.

Our Chapter and SPS are going to do some interesting experiments together. We are going to have 4 tables for 4 different experiments. The experiments are as follows:

1- Plasma ball

2- Glass beads (in water)

3- Different color different world.

4- Total Internal Reflection (TIR) experiment

Dr. Gbur also is going to have two other tables separately which is related to acoustic and music. There are a lot students coming to this event. I encourage you to join us. It would be a great experience. I know the final exam are close but please do your best. We can cover each other enjoy visiting and watching other setups on other tables. You don't need to stay all the event.

We probably need to get together sometime before the event and review the experiments and how to present and explain them to kids and students.

Another exciting news is that our Chapter is going to hold a workshop with Several scholars such as Philip Russell (ex OSA President) in June 3rd. Generally these events are really good which let us share our experience with other students. I will send out a separate email for this workshop after your finals.

Please let us know here if you are interested to participate or email ( [email protected])

Thank you very much

Dear friends,
As you might know, SPIE selected some good standing Chapters to send them the "SPIE Quality Lighting Teaching kit". We are so happy that our chapter was among them because of our hard working. We would like to hold a small workshop with this kit at Student Union in about two weeks from now. This kit contains 6 different activities. I would like to encourage you to participate in holding this event. We are going to go through all the activities of this kit this Friday. Please let us know if you have any question or are interested to participate. It is going to be a lot fun. You will meet different students and have chance to make new friends. You can let us know here or contact us at ([email protected]). You can find more information about this kit by clicking on the link below:
