• We organized an outreach program at the UP school Aryanadon 15 February 2023 where we got an opportunity to interact with students of grades 9 and 10.
• The chapter members demonstrated live optics experiments in front of the students which showed various optical phenomena and principles. The students showed active participation throughout the event.

The SPIE and Optica student chapters at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) have been actively engaged in organizing outreach programs at various schools as part of their annual chapter activities. During these events, chapter members engage with students, demonstrating optics experiments and fostering interaction. These programs serve as a platform to promote science, especially optics, among school students, aiming to inspire them to consider research as a viable career path.
