Optics: Light at Work • DVD For Kids
Intended as a beginning career-orientation to the field of Optical Engineering, this upbeat, interesting, and informative DVD captures students' interest in Optics. This video provides examples of exciting new technology such as nano-medicine, space telescopes, invisibility, and solar energy. The emphasis is on asking questions, exhibiting curiosity, being challenged by problem-solving, having ideas, doing what you love, and the sheer fun of creating things that people need. The youthful background music and a smart young presenter keep students focused and interested throughout the short film (15 min. in length). A wide variety of young scientists of many cultural backgrounds, races, genders, and nationalities provides inspiration to all. (Recommended ages 12-13.)
