Laser Fun Day 2023<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And here’s to one of the most well-attended Laser Fun Days yet!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

OSC was filled with hundreds of families and children wide-eyed at our optical demonstrations. It was incredible to see so much of the Tucson community learn more about the wonder of light!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Thank you to all our students and volunteers–we couldn’t have pulled off such a fantastic event without you. Your dedication and generosity embody the spirit of community, and we’re so grateful for your support. Your efforts made a real impact, and we’re deeply thankful for your contribution.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for this year’s Laser Fun Day. We had a lot of fun finding our way through the laser maze, getting spooked with amazement by pepper’s ghost, and ultimately getting to be involved in the Tucson community as well as the optics community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
