Monroe Community College is partnering with Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster (RRPC), and East High to conduct a Summer Optics Sizzler for 15 East High School students. The Sizzler is being conducted at the Applied Technology Center on June 27 – 30, 2011.
The Summer Optics Sizzler is intended to introduce the “Wow” factor about light, optics, and photonics as the students learn the underlying principles and math behind the phenomenon of light.
The students are divided into teams, each given a project to research and build, along with expectations to meet. Each team will have an optics professional as a team leader to provide guidance and assistance.
The Sizzler will conclude with the students creating PowerPoint presentations, and presenting their findings to a panel of optics professionals.
