In August of 1990, 17 high school physics teachers will have the opportunity to participate in an Optical Science workshop at San Jose State University (SJSU). The two week workshop will use the He-Ne Laser as a tool to study optics and applications of a Laser. Activities include fifteen basic exercises covering geometrical optics, beam manipulation, beam modulation, fiber optics, interference, diffraction, and holography. The teachers will literally take away from the workshops all the equipment and skills they need to start teaching these concepts the following day| The necessary electro-optical devices and equipment are provided by SJSU and corporate partners. Prior to the August workshops, a sub-set of five teachers and the PI, joined by a visiting scholar from the UK, will set up the workshop laboratory and establish, with the educational consultant, basic lesson plans. In addition a menu of research (interesting phenomena) topics will be generated. Follow-up activities include establishing and supporting seventeen photonic stations at seventeen different high schools in the area surrounding San Jose State University through the 1990-91 academic year. Each station will have a laser, oscilloscope, digital voltmeter, and an assortment of inexpensive devices sufficient for all fifteen prescribed exercises. These stations will use the cost shared equipment. Teachers use of this equipment will be supported on a daily basis through an electronic bulletin board. Data and ideas will be shared via a Newsletter. Cost sharing from SJSU in an amount of $27,570 equals 40% of the NSF award. In addition, there are corporate and professional association equipment and money cost sharing contributions.

1990年8月，17名高中物理教师将有机会参加圣何塞州立大学（SJSU）的光学科学研讨会。为期两周的研讨会将以氦氖激光器为工具，研究激光的光学和应用。活动包括15个基本练习，涵盖几何光学、光束操作、光束调制、光纤、干涉、衍射和全息。老师们将从工作坊中带走他们第二天开始教授这些概念所需的所有设备和技能b|必要的光电设备和设备由上海外国语大学和企业合作伙伴提供。在8月的研讨会之前，由五名教师和PI组成的小组将与一位来自英国的访问学者一起建立研讨会实验室，并与教育顾问一起制定基本课程计划。此外，将生成一个研究（有趣现象）主题菜单。后续活动包括在1990-91学年期间在圣何塞州立大学周围地区的17所不同高中建立和支持17个光子站。每个车站将有一个激光器，示波器，数字电压表，和各种各样的廉价设备，足以满足所有15规定的练习。这些站点将使用费用共享的设备。教师使用这些设备将每天通过电子公告板得到支持。数据和想法将通过通讯分享。由SJSU分担的费用为27,570美元，相当于NSF奖金的40%。此外，还有企业和专业协会的设备和资金费用分摊贡献。
