Bootcamp
Get ready to dive into the next level of applied physics, photonics and engineering for innovative applications. Future trends include Lifi replacing Wifi, biophotonics and the rapid evolution of nanotechnology. We're talking about 3D printing of organs to reduce the need for animal testing and lifesaving applications in health sciences. About freeform optic design for the latest Mixed Reality Headsets for Industry 4.0. About superspeed encrypted networks for secure Big Data. Excited to find out more?
Our bootcamp is all about photonics, a driving technology for many industries in the 21st century. It bridges physics and engineering; it's advanced and sometimes futuristic, yet it's still unknown to many. What is the super power of photonics that makes it so special?
The Bootcamp Photonics for Bachelors offered a unique mix of emerging trends, a behind-the-scene lab visit, pop-up class and workshops in top-quality labs. Participants joined in hands-on experiments with the PHABLABS 4.0 challenge, and spoke to top experts for a deeper insight into the magic of photons, in many disciplines where engineering, physics and photonics cross.
As the daydrew to a close, it was clearer than ever why photonics is being proclaimed as Key Enabling Technology of the 21st century.
