Laser Fun Day 2023 was a successful outreach event attracting over 300 visitors and was made possible by over 100 volunteers. The event was a fun-filled day of hands-on activities and demonstrations that showcased the amazing world of optics. Some demos that seemed to stand out were the AR sandbox and Laser Maze! With the help of dedicated volunteers, visitors of all ages had the opportunity to learn about the science behind optics, as well as explore its various applications!

Ashlesha Patil, Wyant College PhD student and NSF-ERC Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) researcher, has done what might seem to some the "impossible"—she’s explaining quantum mechanics using a game. Ashlesha's presentation was selected by the American Physical Society to be featured in their Master Tip Sheet for the 2023 March Meeting and was featured in UANews.
