Ten-year perspective on display holography in the middle school classroom
Frank Tomaszkiewicz · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1998
Glen Ellyn School District 41 students in grades six, seven and eight first began making reflection holograms in September, 1987. At that time they were the only students anywhere their age who had that type of experience in science and art. After ten years not much has changed. If one were to try to find a middle level school that makes display holography available, one would have to seek out science programs in an area high school. There are a number of reasons why display holography has not caught-on in public schools. This article will touch on some of them. This article also includes some laser applications that have been incorporated into the Art Technology program for Hadley JHS students at all grade levels.
