Magic of Light

Magic of Light Summer Course

This 5-day summer program is designed for young learners aged 10–14 to explore the fascinating world of light through hands-on experiments and interactive lectures. Students will dive into key concepts like reflection, refraction, light intensity, and spectral transmittance, gaining a deeper understanding of how light behaves in different environments. From measuring light intensity with meters to bending light with prisms, each session combines theory with practical activities.


By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation in light properties and their real-world applications, from shadow formation to the electromagnetic spectrum. Perfect for curious minds, this program not only sparks a love for STEM but also builds critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
