Photonics4All Bookmark Grade (German)

The purpose of the bookmarks for the project Photonics4All is to increase the public awareness of photonics and especially of the technological advances of photonics which have changed and improved everyday life (basic technology introduction).

How can light help improve students' grades?

In a continent like Africa, night time comes early. For many families with no access to electricity, it means the end of access to light or the use of dangerous kerosene lamps. Thanks to photonics, cheap, portable, rechargeable lights can be provided to kids so they can continue their homework even when the sun has gone down. Families can recharge the lights during the day using in-built solar panels, and these lights can provide up to 4 hours of light and help students improve their grades at school.
All thanks to progress in Photonics.
