"Hands-On Optics" is a comprehensive, national level program that introduces middle school youth to the science of optics using hands-on kits, modules and related activities. Six optics modules will be developed for use in after-school and weekend programs. Modules will focus on engaging topics such as kaleidoscopes, optical illusions, magnifiers and solar telescopes while exploring the principles of reflection, refraction, light and vision. "Hands-On Optics" will be introduced at four MESA sites in California and then disseminated to 13 other sites in California, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, New York and Maryland. Additional dissemination venues include four science centers and two NSF-funded research centers. Students will also develop optic projects for competitions and participate in Industry Shadow Days, while parent workshops and a supporting website will provide guidance on careers. "Hands-On Optics" is projected to serve 39,500 students over a three-year period.

“动手光学”是一个全面的，国家级的计划，介绍中学生光学科学使用动手工具包，模块和相关活动。 将开发六个光学模块，用于课后和周末课程。 模块将专注于参与主题，如万花筒，光学错觉，放大镜和太阳望远镜，同时探索反射，折射，光和视觉的原理。 “实践光学”将在加州的四个梅萨站点推出，然后传播到加州、亚利桑那、俄勒冈州、科罗拉多、新墨西哥州、纽约和马里兰州的其他13个站点。 其他传播场所包括四个科学中心和两个NSF资助的研究中心。 学生们还将为竞赛开发光学项目并参加行业影子日，而家长研讨会和支持网站将提供职业指导。 “动手光学”计划在三年内为39,500名学生提供服务。
