Edukit

One of the objectives of NEMO is to create awareness on the enabling role of micro-optics and micro-photonics. Therefore NEMO helps teachers and professors to explain their students, already from the primary and secondary school onwards, how crucial the role of light and the technology to manipulate light has become in daily life.

Learn and teach Optics:

NEMO's Educational Kit gives teachers and professors from secondary schools, high schools and universities the possibility to introduce students into the fascinating world of micro-optics. To receive an Educational NEMO Kit free of charge you have to send us a completed application form.

NEMO's Educational Kit contains:

  • a visible semiconductor laser source
  • two identical plastic cards
  • containing diffractive and refractive
  • micro-optical elements
  • a leaflet with basic instructions
  • a CD-ROM containing the manual of the kit, plenty of stand-alone experiments and class-room demonstrations, together with computer simulations and tutorials.
  • The handbook is available in different languages:

Fascination of light

The interactive traveling exhibition "Fascination of light" which has been developed and displayed very successfully in Germany during the past two years is now supported by the EU as specific support action. The educational kit of NEMO will be included in and promoted during this exhibition.

Logo Fascination of light

The exhibition will be presented in at least eight major European regions/cities, some of hosts will be NEMO partners. The exhibition is based on a multidisciplinary approach where photonics and their pervasiveness in every day life can be actively experienced through interactive, hands-on exhibition pieces, illustrative material and multimedia stations, functional models, visual aids, posters and simple experiments, which may provide inspirations for teachers.
