WS985: Hit-the-Target Laser Activity Workshop
This workshop will train attendees on the use of a Hit-the-Target Laser activity, a hands-on education outreach kit using lasers and mirrors. The activity is intended to engage and enrich the math/science learning experience for students in the middle grades. It was developed as part of Hands-On Optics (HOO), a $1.7 million dollar grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to design and implement a science enrichment program for children aged 11 to 14 years old.
