The OSA - IFISC Student Chapter is a group of Ph.D. students of IFISC (Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, CSIC-UIB) and the Physics Department of the UIB (University of the Balearic Islands) with a broad spectrum of ongoing research for their Thesis but with a common interest in Optics. Our advisor is Dr. Roberta Zambrini.

The OSA (Optical Society of America) promotes the Student Chapters with the aim to establish collaboration networks with other students, participate in outreaching activities, and encourage the interest in optics of undergraduate students and the general public.

Paintground with Laser Graffiti

After the inauguration of the Exposition 'Ilumínate' at the Casal Solleric, we moved the Laser Graffiti inside. We placed it in a balcony facing the opposite wall from the patio's skylight every afternoon during 10 days between 17:30 and 20:30. At that location kids and adults could gather around the set up and use it to paint beautifully for hours. Parents were very happy to see their kids excited for painting on the wall with vivid colours, but wasn't unusual to witness parents that didn't want to miss such opportunity to let their inner kid out, and paint once again on the walls. So it was really satisfying to see that everybody loved it: kids were astonished, parents were glad, and the artist that heared about us and came to try were surprised by our little project. Some high school students came to visit the exposition in the afternoon to have a chance to also participate in the laser graffiti 

Next we show a compilation of pictures over the days. You can see people around the table with the laser graffiti set up, and some drawings by people. guess which ones were drawn by kids and which by adults!
