What is it like being a laser scientist?
Be Curious is the University of Leeds’s annual family open day. Led by postdoctoral researcher Thomas Gill, the TeraCom team ran a series of activities designed to explore what it is like to be a laser scientist.
- Dress up as a laser scientist
- Stick the object on the electromagnetic spectrum
- Laser maze game
- Laser comms demo
- Live spectroscopy system
This year was busier than ever! Over 400 people engaged with our laser-based activities throughout the day.
