What smart people!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Last week, we had a great conversation with the MIT Museum\u2019s Education Programs Coordinator, Faith Dukes, who leads about 20 groups of Jr. High and High School students every year in a <a href=\"http:\/\/mitmuseum.mit.edu\/program\/hello-holography\" target=\"_blank\">holography workshop<\/a>. While there, the students start their workshop with a mini physics lesson where they learn about light, light as a wave, what information light gives us, lasers, amplitude, optics, and about the process of creating holograms using beam splitters and mirrors. Then, Dukes shows the students the Litiholo kit all set up, explains the pieces, and tells the students about how the kit makes creating holograms so easy. Beam splitters, mirrors, chemicals, and a stability table are not needed with the laser mount, instant hologram film, and set-up provided in the Litiholo Hologram Kit.<\/p>\n<p>While the students are sent out to explore the holography exhibition, Dukes exposes the film, creating the hologram. When the students return, it\u2019s time for the big reveal! With the lights turned out, Dukes walks up to the Litiholo kit set-up, and removes the object. The students are amazed to see that it appears as if the object is still sitting there. They\u2019re looking at a hologram! It allows them to have that \u201cAh ha!\u201d moment they can\u2019t get just by looking at holograms on display.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever get the opportunity to explore the MIT Museum\u2019s holography collection, or attend a workshop, we highly recommend it. But, if unfortunate circumstances hold you back, no need to mourn your lost opportunity. Fortunately, you can have access to part of an MIT rated holography workshop by purchasing your very own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.litiholo.com\/hologram_kits.html\" target=\"_blank\">Litiholo Hologram Kit<\/a>! We\u2019re still looking into whether or not purchasing the kit boosts your chance of admittance into MIT, but we\u2019re thinking \u2013 yes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know which museum has the\u00a0world&#8217;s largest collection of holograms?\u00a0It\u2019s the MIT Museum.
