Are you looking for a fun and interesting class trip? Then look no further, photonics workshops and lab visits are fantastic!
Photonics, the fascinating science of light, is used in all kinds of high-tech applications: from cancer treatment and healthy fries to 3D printed organs and self-driving cars.
B-PHOT, Brussels Photonics offers you a variety of formulas for your visit.
Formula 1:
Get acquainted with photonics and its applications. Visit the laser lab and learn how laser beams can sort fries. Or just take a peek into the clean room or our photonics production hall.

The Photonics Explorer is a kind of lab-in-a-box that can be used in the classroom to experiment with photonics. Lesson activities with lenses, lasers, LEDs and more, allow a class of up to 30 students to discover the fascinating world of light. These experiments are closely related to the physics curriculum.
