Abstract
Hands-On Optics (HOO) is a collaborative four-year National Science Foundation fundedprogram (Principal Investigator A. Johnson) designed to create a sustainable science education program to excite students about science by actively engaging them in optics activities. It will reach underrepresented middle school students in after-school programs and at hands-on science centers across the United States. The project creates and distributes educational modules and provides professional development for educators and optics resource volunteers.
