In this hands on workshop, students dive into the chemistry and physics of colour. Using prisms, lights and filters, they explore how light interacts with matter to produce the colours we see. They experiment with mixing pigments and observe how reflection and absorption work in everyday life. This vibrant workshop connects science with creativity, encouraging curiosity and observation through interactive exploration.
Outcome & Benefits
Students gain a deeper understanding of how light and matter interact while strengthening observation and reasoning skills. The workshop connects science with art, showing how colour impacts technology, vision and design. It encourages creative thinking and scientific curiosity in a bright, memorable way.
