Sci-Tech Discovery Center Launches Finisar Mobile Laser Lab on May 18
2019年4月30日 - 1:05AM
Sci-Tech Discovery Center, Frisco’s leading family-friendly
cultural and educational destination, will officially launch its
new Finisar Mobile Laser Lab with a public event at the center on
Saturday, May 18. At the launch, museumgoers will be able to
experiment with several optics-themed demonstrations throughout the
day. The museum will offer discounted admission, courtesy of the
Finisar Mobile Laser Lab. The lab debuts during the week
celebrating the UNESCO International Day of Light.
The Finisar Mobile Laser Lab includes three interactive
traveling exhibits to be used at public-outreach events and
school-based events. Designed for a young audience, each
component includes hands-on experiences in important STEM-based
topics, including:
Geometric Optics: “Refract Upon This” -- A
laser beam and acrylic prisms reflect the excitement of science and
technology. Students can experience how they can affect the
behavior of light using lasers.
Optical Lenses: “Flip Your Focus” -- Students
can use an optical bench tool to vary the focal length of different
lenses to experience how they can affect light as it travels.
Fiber Optics: “Bending Light” -- From data
transmission to interior design, fiber optic technology is a part
of our everyday lives. Students can experiment with real
world applications of this technology and learn how light travels
for video communications.
The Finisar Mobile Laser Lab will serve as a hands-on
introduction to lasers and optical components for students in
grades 6 through 12. Lab programming is designed to build on
classroom learning and allow this group to experiment with light to
gain first-hand experiences.
“Finisar is excited to join forces with Sci-Tech to bring STEM
programming to students across the North Texas and Sherman areas,”
explains Jeff Brown, Vice President and General Manager of Texas
Operations, Finisar. “As a world leader in 3D VCSEL Sensing
technology, Finisar is dedicated to helping students foster an
interest in scientific studies though these hands-on
experiences.”
