Over 1600 Youngsters Discovered Photonics at the Day of Science in Brussels!
On 24th November, during the Science Festival at the Day of Science (Dag van de Wetenschap) in Brussels, curious minds from all over Belgium joined us at Muntpunt to explore the wonders of photonics.
From creating art with light to uncovering the secrets of telecommunication, it was a day filled with smiles, amazement, and discovery.
B-PHOT's activities:
- IR Camera: See the world like a snake,
- Light Painting: Craft your own holiday cards,
- Polarization Art: Create art with tape & light,
- Telecommunication: Send secret messages,
- 3D Hologram: Build one with plastic & tape,
- Magic Water: Watch it vanish with reflection.
We look back fondly at this fantastic event and the many smiling faces we met. Can’t wait to share the beauty of photonics with you again at #DVDW2025!
In collaboration with the non-for-profit company EYEST, B-PHOT offers a wide range of inspiring activities based on the innovative character of photonics, the technology of light. We have special photonics activities for young minds, students, schools, science teachers and fab labs, as well as general activities for anybody interested in this key-enabling technology. Among other initiatives, we offer science shows, lab visits, a photonics congress for secondary schools, photonics educational kits, photonics toolkits for fab labs and much more.
