2. ACTIVITY CHAPTER

2.1. Official recognition on campus

On 30 August 2013 our Student Chapter was established with all benefit that SPIE provides. In the same month, our chapter was officially recognized by our university as a student organization with the purpose to divulge the science, physics and specifically the optics.

Thus, the principal of the EAFIT University, Juan Luis Mejía Arango, gave us the official t-shirt of our student chapter as an honor symbol.

Official event for the recognition of the Universidad EAFIT Student Chapter like a student organization on campus. In the picture, from left to right, Oscar Andrés Rincón (treasurer), Natalia Gutiérrez (secretary) and Alejandro Madrid Sánchez

(president).

2.2. Periodical Meetings

In order to plan, discuss, share ideas and evaluate activities, the Universidad EAFIT Student Chapter did periodical meetings during the academic year.

2.3. XIII National Optical Meeting (ENO)- CANCOA

The XII National Optical Meeting (ENO)-CANCOA was a meeting where the members of the Student Chapter could participate in the knowledge of the optics research in our country and where we could have the first approach with other SPIE Student Chapters of our country.

2.4. Facebook and divulgation network

With the purpose to share information about optics, photonics and calendar

activities of the chapter, in 29th November 2013 was created a Facebook page,

where are published photos of activities made along the 2014, and there is also an

invitation to interested people to participate on the informative meeting of the

chapter, pizza meetings and also share information about physical phenomena.

2.5. Welcome new undergraduate students 2014-1

In order to inform and receive the new undergraduate students of the EAFIT

University, at 16 to 18 January 2014, the EAFIT Student Chapter organized the

first activity with different optics experiments to show at the new students to

motivate them to participate in our group and to learn more about optics.

With this event, we show and explain basic phenomena in optics such as

reflection, refraction, interference and diffraction of light.

We could talk with young students of different disciplines like biology, physics

engineering, mathematical engineering, politics science and many more. We

obtained a good answer principally by the new students of programs related with

science areas. They were interested in being part of the student chapter and

motivated to research more about applications of optics in their fields of interest.

Also, in the Auditory Fundadores, with the others presidents of the sutent

organizations of the campus we could talk with all the new students of the different

careers, so we could share with around 1000 new students of the EAFIT University

about our objectives, SPIE, the benefits to be part of SPIE and motivate them to

enroll in our student Chapter.

In the microphone, the president of the Universidad EAFIT Student Chapter.

2.6. Informative meeting

With the purpose to share with the interested students on campus about our

functioning, activity program, benefit to be member of SPIE and enroll new student

at the chapter, we organize an informal talk which was conducted at 25 February

2014. 15 students assisted to the talk.

2.7. EAFIT Children University and EAFIT SPIE Student Chapter

The EAFIT Children University is a program of the EAFIT University with the

purpose to bring children and teenagers more close to the scientific knowledge in

many different areas of science, this program is developed in the University, so

they plan and develop workshops based on questions, experimentation, games

and conversation.

In this way, we started a conversation with the Children University of the EAFIT

University to build methodologies to develop activities for children and teenagers

that allow them to understand more and quesion about optics and physical

phenomena.

With this purpose, the Children University conducted one of their workshops about

the nature of light and colors, in this activity we could learn about their

methodologies.

We had a lot of fun and laughs!

2.8. Scientific Laboratory – Learning about light.

We were invited to participate in the “Scientific Laboratory” (Science Fair) by the

Santa Leoní Aviat School where we could develop a workshop related with the

nature of light, reflection and refraction. In this way, with the methodology learned

with the EAFIT Children University we conducted a workshop based on

conversation, questions, experimentation and games.

Also, with every group of students, we developed an experiment that evidenced the

concepts discussed in the workshop, so the students built kaleidoscopes and

periscopes, so they were able to learn and enjoy.

In this activity we could share the experience with 170 girls of the primary school.

Working, playing, learning and enjoying with the girls

Sharing with all school the knowledge learned on the workshop.

2.9. Pizza meetings

We took a time to share experiences, mistakes and new ideas with all members of

the Chapter while we enjoyed a delicious pizza.

This activity let us to socialize and build a familiar group of work.

2.10. Optics and Photonics SPIE

The SPIE Optics and Photonics conference in San Diego was an amazing and

unforgettable experience. This experience not only contributed the formation and

knowledge of Daniela Bolaños and all members of the Student Chapter, but also in

a meaningful way this conference contributed with the meeting of other cultures by

sharing academic works with people around the world, by meeting different

languages, different kinds of thinking, different ways of dressing, dancing and

eating. Also, the possibility of meet different companies that develop optics and the

possibility of share and know the works that other student Chapters develop

around the world. All of this contributes in the building of a scientific community, but

above all a group of person motivated for the development of optics and photonics.

In San Diego, we had the opportunity to expose and publicize the FOCUS event

that was going to perform in our Chapter joined with other Colimbian Chapters at

November.

The following pictures illustrate what Universidad EAFIT Chapter lived in the Optics

and Photonic Conference in San Diego

2.11. Recruitment 2014

With the purpose to share to the interested students on campus about our

functioning, activity program, benefit to be member of SPIE and enroll new student

at the chapter, we organized a video explaining our mission and vision, where we

also showed some activities realized at the moment.

In addition, we explain and share optical experiments to motivate the students on

campus to participate at our Chapter. We placed ourselves on one of the principal

hall of the university.

2.12. FOCUS

The FOCUS (The Federation of Optics College and University Students) was an

international event, where Lecturers and students from many countries of the world

met in an congress organized by eight Colombian chapters. The FOCUS Latin

America 2014 took place in EAFIT University, and it was made with the idea of

allowing optics researchers to discuss about their investigations in optics, building

new contact network and have the opportunity to know from best Scientifics the

latest developments on the different fields of optics and photonics. This experience

for our chapter was not only an academic experience, it was also an opportunity to

learn about organization, management and to build closer relationships with the

other Colombian Chapters and Lecturers.

The link of the FOCUS even page is the following:

http://www.eafit.edu.co/focuslatinoamerica2014/Paginas/Inicio.aspx

The Lecturers that took part on the event and their presentations are the

following:
