Pre-pandemic exhibit #prototyping @ The Lawrence. You are seeing light pass through a spinning patterned disc onto a small photovoltaic (solar) panel. The light that passes through creates an oscillating voltage that you can then send through an amplifier to create an audible tone. Sound generated using light - how poetic.

Spots are still available for our online Afterschool Science Online Young Investigators program for Pre-K! Participants will notice, wonder, and discover the solid, liquid, gassy, and gooey states of matter through play-based, hands-on explorations. Registration closes Thursday, so reserve your spot today! https://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/afterschool-science-o
