200 students invaded San Diego this year to take part in the 10^th Annual Student Chapter Leadership Workshop at SPIE Optics + Photonics! The workshop began early on Saturday, 20 August at the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina.
Members from our chapter also participated to these events. They represented their scientific works at Optics + Photonics 11. During exhibition YSU and NAS SPIE student chapter activity was also represented. This year the first time our chapter participated to Outreach Olympics. The president of chapter Tigran Dadalyan demonstrated some simple experiments on optics, which are demonstrated during visits to schools and used to help understand teaching material (see video. http://spie.org/x51517.xml)
