ZLI encourages STEM programs to account for the environmental and health effects of light when students are at an early age, and that means learning to measuring and appreciating light properly.
ZLI believes that all STEM programs should offer students the opportunity to use technical equipment as they develop. Our Citizen Science Kit includes a WaveGo portable spectrometer, a Sky Quality Meter and SolarPath Finder (allowing assessments of changing lighting over the course of the year). These education kits build an appreciation of natural and artificial light in a hands on, yet technical way, that will prepare students for a truly luminous future.
