Photon Playground Event

Precision optics and lasers are everywhere you look—in cameras, virtual reality systems, 3D projectors, laser scanners, microscopes, satellite systems, quantum computers and telescopes.

Northern Colorado is a national center for optics and photonics, and FRCC has the only optics technology program in Colorado. Come explore the world of lights, lasers and quantum science at our state-of-the-art facility at the Photon Playground.

• A laser waterfall, a laser maze, quantum hopscotch, among many other activities!
• Watch how we can encode sound and video on a laser and transmit it across the room.
• Learn more about optical interference with soap bubble rainbows

Bring your families for a day of hands-on discovery. All ages welcome!
