Extractions: OPTICS FOR KIDS: Science and Engineering by Bruce Irving, Optical Research Associates A NOTE TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS: Elementary school children might enjoy this quick look at some optical basics, especially if coupled with some experiments from the Optics Discovery Kit from OSA or some creative play with the commercial program ZAP! . There's also a bit of a pep talk on science and engineering as careers. Please share this with your kids! Please note also that ORA does not sell lenses or other optical "hardware" for experiments. A local science or children's museum may sell simple lenses, prisms, mirrors, etc. Edmund Scientifics is a good source for all sorts of optical and other scientific items for experimenters. Laser pointers are now quite inexpensive and can be used for optical experiments with colored filters, lenses, and optical fibers. You can buy laser pointers at office supply and electronics stores. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH LASERS.

Extractions: SHARONVILLE- -Tomorrow's aerospace engineer might be today's 9-year-old master of the Lego universe. While playing with the brightly colored, interconnecting blocks, experts say children can establish a foundation for math, science, technology and problem-based learning. That can spark an interest in related professions - such as engineering. The Cincinnati Regional First Lego League Robotics Competition for students in grades 4 through 8 is one way some in Greater Cincinnati are trying to make that happen. "If you can show kids the real-life applications of what they can do, they understand and they can become interested in it," said Kathy Schweinfurth, chief of outreach education at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton. The base is a sponsor of both regional and state First Lego League competitions. About 20 Tristate elementary and middle school teams of 4-10 students have registered for the Dec. 13 regional event at Scarlet Oaks Career Development Campus in Sharonville. Registration deadline is Sept. 30.
