1. The International Advanced School on Frontiers in Optics & Photonics

The International Advanced School on Frontiers in Optics & Photonics (FOP-2012) was held there on 2-7 July 2012. The School was organized by

YSU&NAS SPIE Student Chapter, the Institute for Physical Research of National Academy of Sciences of Armenia (IPR the Department of

Physics of Yerevan State University (YSU).

2. Optics Fair

Festival of Science is the day when BMSTU opened its doors widely to numerous curious visitors (like school-children, university entrants, first-year

students). Festival of Science 2012 is organized twice by BMSTU. Participants could look through informative stands of almost every department of our

university, which described department’s activities and science orientation. Lots of master-classes, lectures, seminars and reports on different scientific

topics were held by senior students, postgraduates and professors.

3. The Day of Optics at Lyceum 1581, Moscow

2nd of April a team from our SPIE Student Chapter visited Moscow lycée 1581 under Bauman Moscow State Technical University. It was a very hard but

special day because we get a great experience working with children.

Carrying out experiments and telling them about optics is so responsible because we can influence on their specialty choice. And we tried to do it

excellent.

Teachers of Physics helped us sometimes and we thank them.

We told children about diffraction, polarization, liquid crystals, internal reflectance and showed them how lows of optics work and how they can be

applied.

After experiments we told them about our specialty, university and out student chapter.

In the end we played with them two games. First of them was “Recognize a word” – children should describe some optical terms like lens, focal distance,

reflection to another in a limit of time. Second game was “Hit the target”. And unfortunately no one team could get 100 points. But for them it was very

funny to solve this task.
