The LASE project is centered on an innovative "do-it- yourself" optics laboratory course based on the principles of manipulating and modulating laser beams, and designed to make physics more attractive to high school students by introducing them to every-day laser applications. To facilitate implementation of these ideas, 2 two-week Summer workshops will be provided during 1991 to train forty high school physics teachers to teach the course, with in- service help, the following academic year. The project concentrates on three strong pedagogical ideas developed during the first phase of the project: 1. providing each participant with an optical system designed to be easily reproduced or modified in any modestly equipped workshop, and incorporating many "off-the-shelf" hardware-store items (A prototype has already been competed), 2. providing a series of station-by-station instructions beforehand for the participants as they all work on the same activity at the same time. This is the advantage of having a common optical system, 3. involving all participants as peer teachers during the 1991-92 academic year in-service phase of the program. Groups of five teachers will take charge of each of the monthly meetings scheduled for that period. Students will help them. Ten teachers from Phase 1 will provide instruction during the Summer workshops, along with faculty from San Jose State University. Assistance will be provided by a full-time technician and SJSU physics majors. The forty participants will bring along at least one guest teacher to at least one in-service meeting during the year. This will be formally required. By year's end close to seventy teachers will have been actively involved. Cost sharing equals 48% of the NSF award.

LASE项目的核心是创新的“动手做”， 你自己”光学实验室课程的基础上的原则， 操纵和调制激光束， 物理学对高中生更有吸引力 将其引入日常激光应用。 为了促进这些想法的实施， 1991年将举办夏季讲习班， 高中物理教师讲授的课程，在- 服务帮助，下一学年。 项目 集中于三个强大的教学思想发展 在项目第一阶段： 1. 为每个参与者提供光学系统 被设计成易于复制或修改， 设备齐全的车间，并结合许多 “现成”硬件存储项目（原型 已经竞争过了）， 2. 提供一系列的逐站 事先为参与者提供指导， 所有人都在同一时间从事同一项活动。 这是具有共同的光学特性的优点。 系统， 3. 让所有参与者作为同伴教师参与， 一九九一至九二学年， 程序. 五名教师将负责 每月会议的时间表， 期 学生会帮助他们。 第一阶段的十名教师将在 夏季讲习班，沿着来自圣何塞州立大学的教师 大学 将由一名全职人员提供协助。 技术员和SJSU物理专业。 40位参加者将至少带沿着一位嘉宾 一年中至少参加一次在职会议。 这将是正式要求的。 到年底， 70名教师将积极参与。 成本分摊相当于NSF奖励的48%。
