SPIE Awarded Grant for Optics Series

In recognition of the optics industry's growing need for suitably trained workers, the National Science Foundation has granted SPIE $48,725 to support three workshops for informal optics science education. To promote the awareness of optics and optical engineering career options, participants will develop educational alternatives to the formal classroom that target the general public and populations underrepresented in the optics field. The Optical Society of America will co-sponsor the workshops.
