Description :

Kaleidoscope

I place a significant effort in showing the concrete application of scientific concepts in daily life objects.

When teaching about Energy, Light, and Sound, I built this small project to have the student apply their acquired knowledge of the proprieties of Light in a fun little project: a handmade kaleidoscope.

Inspired by various websites, I built the teaching materials and guided the students in the realization of their kaleidoscope.
