2. INTRODUCTION
Next is the Report about all the activities that SPIE student chapter at the INAOE have performed between
May 2009 and May 2010. All these scientific and cultural activities has been performed with such
enthusiasm about knowing that a lot of persons can have access to scientific talks and, why not, get
interested on Physics or Optics sciences for living.
We steal having a great time in our Student Chapter, full of activities both academic and social. This has
created a very enthusiastic atmosphere among the Chapter members. At these times we are 25 members but
we hope to increase the number of members at the present year.

November 27 -28, 2009, Attendants: 700
During the 3rd Cinvesniñ@s, our SPIE Student Chapter participated at National Polytechnic Institute
with a Workshop: Kaleidoscope, Periscope and astronomical kit.
In fact, the national week of sciences and technology is celebrated in Mexico every year. In this two
days every institute of science of technology they should participate with activities to promote the science in
our country. Our chapter was invited to participate with workshop optics in order to show the importance of
science and optics in our lives. Thus, during two days two of us were sharing and enjoying the science and
technology with children, teenagers and old people.

Daniel Lopez is talking about the principles of fiber Optics and lasers. And Juan Carlos Juarez is talking to the children about
lenses and image formation.
4th International Reading Fair (FILEC)
3D Images workshop and Optics experiments.
February 11 - 14, 2010. Attendants: 3500
Part of our work as a Student Chapter consists of developing techniques to explain and understand
the optics science in order to motivate to others. One way to do this is by building little and easy to
understand instruments with low cost materials, such as telescopes, microscopes or periscopes. We are sure
that this represents an attractive way to teach and understand the optics.
This event was very important in the state of Puebla. These way almost 20,000 children of different schools
were invited to participate in these activities. Although there were almost 130 different activities and
workshops, it was necessary to participate with 3D images workshop and Optics experiments.
The experiments were related to: index of refraction, electromagnetic fields, waves, lasers, holograms,
diffraction, polarization, dispersion and interference. The main idea of these experiments was to promote our
activities as optics students, as well as SPIE Student Chapter. Children of different schools were able to
listen our explanations and enjoy with the experiments.
The success of both workshops was evident with the building of approximately 1000 lens for 3D images
workshop. This was possible not only with the participation of each member of our Student Chapter, but
also with the collaboration of invited friends and parents who were working together for four days from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. What a experience!. This is an example of how we can improve the teaching and learning of
optics science for children. In fact, with this kind of workshops we have motivated to others, including old
people, so that they can research a little bit more about the applications of optics. We would like to increase
the number of workshops with the brilliant ideas of our members.

Semana de la ciencia y sus aplicaciones
February 15 – 19, 2010. Attendants: 1200
By First Time the INAOE Student Chapter of SPIE was the organizer, and the School Center “José
Maria Morelos y Pavon (CEM)” gave us that opportunity. It was a great experience for all members
involved. The name of this event was “Week of Science and application” and the INAOE Student Chapter of
SPIE was the contact for the speakers and the CEM. In this event we created the workshop of dark camera
for teenager and we attend around 1200 persons between kids and teenager. The Speakers were researchers
from INAOE and the University of Puebla, Mexico.
Javier is talking about dark camera.

Colegio Mexicano de Tehuacan
“3rd Week of Science and Technology”
May 11, 2010. Attendants: 300
One of the main activities of the student chapter is to go to other cities to divulge the optics;
we believe it is very important because not all schools have the chance to visit the laboratories of
INAOE. In the city Tehuacan, Puebla. The “College Mexicano” invited us to participate in their third
week of science and technology. On this occasion, participated in two conferences, the first was “Optics
in everyday life” and the second was “Optical and applications”. Also there were tables of experiments
as it is, holography, diffraction, polarization, imaging, wave guides, and experiment Newton
BBQ to interact and increase number of member of the Chapter.
