Light-Pipes: Controlling Light

2/9/2018

0 Comments

 
In Spring 2016, Wendy Ibsen of CSEP deployed a new PhoSoc-Designed activity to family science nights at local middle schools.  As part of the FUSE family science-nights, UCSB grad. students led 8th grader's families through fiber optics and how they are used to transmit all our internet, television and telephone data.
The activity culminates in a challenge in which the families have to make a "Jell-o Waveguide" that bends the light back 180°, tested with a red laser pointer and paper safety glasses!

See the full activity writeup here, authored by Demis D. John and Marilyn Garza, with much help from Wendy Ibsen:
