Call To Action: Educational Resources and Materials

In recognition of the importance of educating our future optics and photonics professionals, the Florida Photonics Cluster Board of Directors is inviting its members and others in the community to share its educational materials through its online collection of resources posted on the FPC website's education page. We welcome just about submission ranging from presentations and brochures to information on available demonstration tools.

It is widely recognized that there is shortfall of a skilled optics and photonics workforce and in order for Florida to be competitive it is imperative that we reach out to students early and inform them of the potential opportunities that exist in this exciting technology growth area. Your involvement in the community is greatly appreciated as it will help shape the future economy and standard of living of the state for the better.

If you are an educator seeking materials or the involvement in your classroom, please do not hesitate to contact us!
