Raising awareness about career opportunities in optics and photonics is critical to fuel the talent pipeline – and that’s why CREOL launched a Teacher Ambassador Program. By providing Florida high school science teachers with lesson plans and activities they can take back to their classrooms, we introduce photonics to the next generation, incorporate it into the high school curriculum, raise awareness of our programs, and engage the local community. Supporting this initiative funds teachers to attend our biannual Ambassador workshops.
