The Wits Optics Student Chapter got together to brainstorm and upgrade our science demos.

Our chapter members brought their A-game to rapidly prototype new ways to pitch complex Optics and STEM concepts to the public.

👉 Swipe through for some highlights!

These amazing new activities and experiments will be developed further and featured at our upcoming outreach events like Yobo Gogga and IDL. Watch this space! 👀🚀
