Optics!  Science!  Hands on activities!  Take Home Crafts!  Free Food!

The Boston University and New England Optical Society of America Chapters announce:
FAMILY OPTICS DAY!
September 17th; 11am-2pm; 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 demonstrations 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! Meter parking available on Cummington St and limited spaces on Saint Mary’s St and Comm Ave.
This event is open to the general public, so please bring your friends!
