During the month of June, and continuing into July, we have been busy building and shipping Light and Optics Experiment Kits (LOEK) to students nation-wide. We have also finished the videos that accompany the experiments of the LOEKs. We hope these videos will be of help to the students who are performing these experiments at home. Please see more information on how to access these videos in the newsletter.

To assist K-12 teachers who are teaching optics or STEM remotely and are looking for photonics teaching materials, we have compiled a plethora of resources which can be found categorized at our Lessons and Course Teaching Materials webpage. On the same page, you can find resources for college instructors, industry, and incumbent workers.

In this issue, you will also find copies of presentations that OPCN members will have during the virtual HI-TEC Conference and information about the joint project of LASER-TEC and PowerAmerica ®.

We are currently working on photonics course shells that can be shared among our members. Please contact us if you have a course shell developed in Blackboard, Canvas, or any other Learning Management System (LMS) and are willing to share it among the OPCN.

Stay Well and Healthy,
