Seminars In order to make Optics and Photonics more popular, to make science more

interesting and to answer actual questions that arise for students, we are

organizing seminars, which are conducted by popular lecturers from scientific and industrial centers of

Armenia and other countries. As always the topics of seminars included various fields of science, optics,

astrophysics and even psychology, and this seminar was aimed to help students to overcome the worries

about exams. Some seminars were unique and were met very enthusiastic and attracted participants of

various specialties.

LAB TOURS

We have organized Lab Tours for Students and school children in the

scientific centers in Armenia. We have visted Laboratories in Institute for Physical

Research, Yerevan State University and Russian-Armenian University. There the

students had great opportunity to communicate with scientists working in

various fields of optics and learn a lot of new things about their experiments and

scientific research.

The Big World of Physics

his is our traditional activity which includes work with schoolchildren, to

make Optics more interesting and popular. Traditionally we were taking them

to excursions to various University laboratories, but this year we decided to visit children

also in their schools.

Our Website nother achievement of our chapter this year was the

popularization of our official website: www.spie.am .

During the period of January 2010 and January 2012 more

than 5000 views from 107 countries were registered. It contains

information about our chapter upcoming activity, chapter newsletter

and our projects archive. Also we are posting there the information

about upcoming scientific meetings and schools that are organized by

other SPIE chapters and various scientific centers. Also students can

find there useful links and other information.
