"Can you see?", "understanding something", "clear as day", "enlightenment": Words like these reveal just how closely light - and a sense of sight (and therefore optics) - are connected to what we learn and our understanding, right up to the transcendental and art. 

Colors, sunrays, and energy - in short: light. Natural sciences and engineering are closely linked to art and culture through the optical sciences. Instructors will conduct a series of experiments to make optical phenomena more tangible. Beginning with basic experiments using mirrors and lenses, we will work our way up to more complex experiments revealing insight about the nature of light.
