Abstract

May 16th, 2018 was the first International Day of Light and the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon celebrated it with a project called "IDL in Monterrey: science, art and culture of light". The two main objectives of the project were: to offer guidance to basic education teachers about how to use hands-on activities related with light, optics, and photonics to teach science with low-cost materials and taking into account the application and impact of science in our daily light; and involve non-technical audience in the appreciation and learning of the sciences, technologies, and arts related to light, using artistic and scientific demonstrations and interactive activities. The project includes teacher training, science and art workshops, STEM exhibitions, theater play and talks about light and its importance in life, science, technology, art, and culture. The present work will include the outcomes of the event and the impact of the different activities carried out.
