Light and Optics Investigation
Saturday, March 17, 1-3pm

What happens if you shine a laser through Jell-O? In this workshop, we tinker with lenses, lasers, colored lights, filters, diffraction gratings, gelatin and other materials to uncover the fundamental behaviors of light. Families can make observations and predictions, then invent experiments to test their bright ideas.
